Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) is expanding its presence in the legal software market as it continues to grow its enterprise footprint.
The latest offerings include integration with platforms law firms already use, such as Box (BOX) and Thomson Reuters (TRI), plugins designed for specific tasks and roles such as corporate counsel, regulatory counsel, and law students, and integration with Microsoft (MSFT) 365.
The launch comes just a week after Anthropic debuted its Claude for Financial Services, which includes 10 customizable AI agents for financial users, the ability to use Claude’s financial capabilities across Microsoft 365, and the option to connect Claude to more applications.
It also comes as the software industry continues to deal with the fallout from the initial debut of Anthropic’s Claude Cowork, which has hammered software stocks over fears that the AI startup will steal market share from existing enterprise platforms.
Anthropic’s new legal products could further raise concerns about the future of legacy enterprise services.
The company’s latest products feature 20 model context protocol (MCP) connectors, which allow Claude to connect to existing pools of data and tools in apps. That includes the ability to use Claude with programs such as DocuSign (DOCU), Ironclad, Datasite, and other legal software.
There are also 12 practice-area plugins designed to help workers with specific tasks. For instance, AI governance counsel is used for case triage, AI impact assessments, vendor AI review, and regulation-to-policy gap analysis.
A litigation associate plugin helps with deposition prep, chronology building from document productions, and brief section drafting.
Adding Claude to Microsoft 365 for legal teams allows them to use the AI assistant to triage incoming matter work, flag contract requests, and more.
Anthropic is focusing heavily on the enterprise market as it prepares for a potential initial public offering later this year.
According to the company, its 2026 revenue run-rate climbed above $30 billion, up from $9 billion last year.
It also doubled the number of companies spending $1 million annually, from 500 to more than 1,000 in two months.
CEO Dario Amodei has said that some software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies could go bust if they don’t develop sufficient moats to keep AI companies at bay.
“I think individual SaaS companies, it’s very possible for them to lose market value, go bankrupt, completely, go bust, but it depends on the response,” Amodei said during a conversation with journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin and JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon at Anthropic’s The Briefing: Financial Services event last week.
