Anthropic expands Claude with legal-specific tools and integrations
Anthropic released an expanded suite of features for Claude on Tuesday, adding specialized legal tools and connections to third-party platforms including Thomson Reuters, Harvey, Box, Everlaw, and DocuSign. The new capabilities allow law firms to access legal research databases, practice guides, and document management systems directly within Claude.
Thomson Reuters customers can now reach Westlaw Primary Law's court records database and Practical Law guides through Claude. Thomson Reuters also integrated its CoCounsel legal assistant with Claude, giving users access to what the company calls "fiduciary grade" legal research tools.
The release includes 12 new legal practice plug-ins: commercial counsel, employment counsel, litigation associate, law student, and others. Firms can deploy these tools inside Claude Cowork or embed them into their own systems.
Adoption accelerating in legal sector
Mark Pike, associate general counsel at Anthropic, said a recent webinar on how legal teams use Claude drew more than 20,000 registrations. "We're seeing an incredible uptick in adoption of AI in the legal industry," he said.
The expansion reflects broader competition among technology companies to build professional AI tools. Information-heavy industries like law are moving quickly to adopt AI for research, document review, and analysis.
Financial terms of the partnerships were not disclosed. Thomson Reuters is the parent company of Reuters.
