Anthropic launched an expanded suite of AI tools for its Claude assistant specifically for the legal sector. The release features 12 new practice-area plugins and over 20 software connectors.
New tools include a commercial counsel feature for vendor agreements and a bar exam preparation assistant. This expansion builds on a February release that triggered significant stock sell-offs for established legal tech and data analytics firms.
The update integrates Claude with platforms from Thomson Reuters, DocuSign, and iManage. Legal professionals can now perform research and document management within existing workflows.
