Typical cost

Claude Team; consider Enterprise with BAA/DPA if client data is involved. Legal-tech MCPs (clause libraries, matter management) vary widely — negotiate pilot pricing.

Scoped to replace

~5 hrs/wk of associate time

First-pass contract review, clause suggestions, summarizing depositions, drafting responses to information requests. Our planning estimate is a 30–40% cycle-time reduction on routine drafting — pilot on one matter type before you bank it.

The hard conversation

Privilege + citation risk

Do not paste privileged material into consumer Claude. Claude fabricates case citations — every citation must be independently verified before filing. Sanctions have been issued for hallucinated citations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Claude tools help legal teams?

Legal teams use Claude for first-pass contract review, clause drafting, and compliance framework summaries. This catalog curates 4 legal tools.

Can Claude write legal briefs?

It can draft, but it can also fabricate case citations. Sanctions have been issued against attorneys who filed AI-hallucinated citations. Every citation must be independently verified before filing.

Is Claude safe for privileged material?

Only on Enterprise tiers with a signed BAA or DPA and your firm's MRP/ethics committee approval. Do not paste privileged content into consumer Claude.

How does Claude compare to specialized legal AI?

Specialized legal tools (Harvey, Spellbook, others) are fine-tuned on legal corpora and come with vendor support. Claude is more general-purpose but integrates easily into existing workflows. Many firms use both.
