What is it?

Claude for Legal is a collection of plugins that package legal workflows for Claude. It covers in-house commercial work, privacy, product, corporate, employment, litigation, regulatory, AI governance, IP, and law school clinics and students. Each practice-area plugin starts with a cold-start interview that captures a team's playbook into a CLAUDE.md practice profile, which the skills then read from.

The same skills and system prompts can run as Claude Cowork or Claude Code plugins, or be deployed through the Claude Managed Agents API behind your own workflow engine. The repo includes named agents such as a Vendor Agreement Reviewer, NDA Triager, Docket Watcher and Subpoena Triage, along with MCP connectors for systems like Slack, Google Drive, Box, Ironclad, DocuSign, iManage, Everlaw and CourtListener.

Every output is positioned as a draft for attorney review rather than legal advice. Citations are meant to be checked through connected research tools, and external outputs require explicit review gates before anything is filed, sent or relied on.
