Anthropic launches Claude for Legal, expands generative AI offerings for lawyers
"Anthropic has launched Claude for Legal, dramatically expanding its generative AI offerings for lawyers and legal professionals. In a Tuesday press release, 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's legal plug-in, which first launched in February."
"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."
"Perhaps the two biggest connected programs are Harvey and Thomson Reuters, with Claude now being able to connect to the former's legal AI assistant and the latter's 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, free legal research tool Descrybe and caselaw database the Free Law Project."
""Most people don't know they have legal rights until it's too late to use them. Claude can now meet them where they are-in the moment they're scared and searching for answers," Courtroom5 CEO and co-founder Sonja Ebron said in the press release."
