If you ask a lawyer for comments, she will give you some, whether your draft needed them. This is a foundational crux of the [[anal paradox]]. For a mark-up proves you have read an agreement, considered its content, and justified your fee.
 
No text is immune from adjustment, and if your only objective is to show you've read it, slipping in a harmless [[for the avoidance of doubt]], or a [[without limitation]] or two, is the least professionally invasive way of achieving that.
 
No such ornamentation is [[calculated]] to improve the elegance of the text, of course. To do that you will need to disentangle some convoluted grammar. This will be seen as enemy action, especially if your edits are not directed at ''some'' legal content, however spurious.
