When AI Met Legal: What Claude's New Legal Plugin Means for Your Practice
About this program
On January 30th, Anthropic released a legal workflow plugin that sent shockwaves through the industry, wiping billions in market value from Thomson Reuters, LexisNexis, and LegalZoom in a single day. For the first time, a foundation model company is competing directly with the legal tech tools built on top of it. Join Steve Smith, CEO of Intelligence by Intent and AI strategy consultant who has trained over 1,000 organizations on AI implementation, as he breaks down what Claude's new legal plugin actually does, demonstrates its contract review and NDA triage capabilities, and explains what this platform shift means for attorneys evaluating AI tools for their practice. Whether you're already using legal AI or just getting started, this session will help you understand the new competitive landscape and how to navigate it.
