Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has launched Claude for Legal, dramatically expanding its generative AI offerings for lawyers and legal professionals.<\/p>\n

In a Tuesday press release<\/a>, the company announced that Claude Cowork now connects to 20 widely used legal platforms and unveiled 12 practice-area specific plug-ins. The new features mark a significant upgrade for Claude\u2019s legal plug-in, which first launched in February<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarlier this year, we released our first legal plug-in, and in the months since, legal professionals have become the most engaged Claude Cowork users of any knowledge-work function,\u201d the company said in its statement.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the 20 connected programs include document management systems iManage and NetDocuments; contract lifecycle and drafting tools Definely and Docusign; mergers and acquisitions and transactional software like Box and Datasite; e-discovery platforms like Consilio, Everlaw and Relativity; and legal research databases like Legal Data Hunter, Midpage and Trellis.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the two biggest connected programs are Harvey and Thomson Reuters, with Claude now being able to connect to the former\u2019s legal AI assistant and the latter\u2019s CoCounsel Legal, Westlaw and Practical Law platforms. In addition to these programs, Claude will also be able to integrate with several tools that help promote access to justice, including pro se guidance tool Courtroom5<\/a>, free legal research tool Descrybe and caselaw database the Free Law Project.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people don\u2019t know they have legal rights until it\u2019s too late to use them. Claude can now meet them where they are\u2014in the moment they\u2019re scared and searching for answers,\u201d Courtroom5 CEO and co-founder Sonja Ebron<\/a> said in the press release.<\/p>\n

The company also announced that its practice-area specific plug-ins will include commercial law, corporate law, employment law, privacy, intellectual property and litigation, as well as tools for law students and legal clinics. Also, the company stated that Claude is now fully integrated with Microsoft\u2019s suite of products.<\/p>\n
