"Anthropic announced this week that it will offer a standalone legal GenAI tool that could do such things as document review, flag risk, and even compliance work. The announcement sent legal tech vendors - and, more importantly, their investment - into frenzy. This immediately triggered a significant drop in stock prices of some big legal tech providers like Thomson Reuters, RELX, and Wolters Kluwer."
"Anthropic is one of the largest GenAI providers to the public. Its main product is Claude. The announcement means Anthropic is now in the application business. Why It Matters The fear driving the stock drop and has legal tech vendors shaking is that the big GenAI players like Anthropic will now compete directly with the vendors and at a lower price."
Anthropic will offer a standalone legal GenAI tool capable of document review, flagging risk, and handling compliance tasks. The announcement caused significant stock drops for large legal tech providers such as Thomson Reuters, RELX, and Wolters Kluwer. Anthropic’s main product is Claude, and the company is moving into the application business. Market fears center on big GenAI players competing directly with legal tech vendors at lower prices, potentially displacing provider services and targeting lawyer tasks. The event matches earlier predictions from October based on a podcast with Harvey founders Winston Weinberg and Gabe Pereyra, who saw OpenAI as a likely entrant into legal tech.
