Anthropic PBC is angling to be a major direct provider of legal technology with its latest rollout, extending beyond its original role as a maker of large language models, Bloomberg Law reports. This week, the company unveiled 12 new AI tools for specific legal practice areas including corporate, regulatory and employment law. The plugins are bundles of various skills for the company’s AI model Claude and connections to other legal software. According to legal technology consultants, Claude was already the favored AI tool for lawyers and these new products could change Anthropic’s role in the legal industry. “This represents a major transition for Claude from backroom to front room,” says Rudy DeFelice, who consults with corporate legal teams at Harbor.
