Anthropic adds a gallery of ready-made legal tools to Claude

What’s in the gallery

On October 28, Anthropic added a gallery of ready-made tools, which it calls artifacts, to Claude for Legal. Artifacts are interactive tools such as trackers, dashboards and tables. Each one opens with an example, and every answer or output links back to its source. Users can fill a tool with their own documents and connectors and share it across the company; sharing settings support confidentiality and ethical walls between teams. In the workflow Anthropic describes, a legal professional brings their own documents and sources, Claude completes the first pass and a lawyer applies their judgment to the results.

Anthropic’s six tools in the gallery:

• Cite check: compares a legal document with its sources and flags quotes that don’t match, wrong page numbers and sources that don’t support the claim.
• Jurisdiction survey matrix: compares a topic such as data breach notice rules across states or countries in one table, with links to the underlying law.
• Matter board: turns engagement letters, emails or spreadsheets into one board of open matters, showing the owner, next step and next deadline.
• Playbook deviation board: compares contracts with the company’s standard terms, flags each clause that differs and sends it to the person who approves exceptions.
• Regulatory horizon scan: maps upcoming regulations on a timeline based on the company’s business and where it operates, ranked by impact with links to sources.
• Tabular review: builds a table from a set of contracts showing the terms asked about, such as severance or non-competes, with links to the exact language.

Partner tools and connectors

Four partners added their own tools: Goodwin (AI Governance Benchmark), Harvey (Harvey Intake, which answers routine questions from the legal team’s guidance in Harvey and routes the rest to a lawyer), Foley & Lardner (Obligations Checker) and PwC (Subpoena Response Tool). Anthropic says more tools are coming from Legora and Orrick. Since Claude for Legal launched in May, more than 60 legal connectors have been added, including Bloomberg Law, Filevine, Ivo, Legora and Patlytics. Legora announced the same day that it is part of the launch; its agent can run jurisdiction-specific research from inside Claude.

Access to justice tools

Nine tools in the gallery focus on access to justice. Five were built by nonprofit and public interest organizations that Anthropic supported with Claude credits: Zealous’s Criminal Charge Reality Check (New York only), Mobile Pathways’ Immigration Papers Reader, Rising for Justice’s Rent Ledger Reviewer, which looks for errors in rent ledgers in eviction cases, and Record-Sealing Screener (both under Washington, D.C. law), and The Access Project’s Record Clearance. These tools are built around US law.

Anthropic also announced the 12-month Oxford Justice Innovators Programme with the Oxford Institute of Technology and Justice and Microsoft (up to 10 innovators), and a Legal Ambassadors Program with a waitlist. The launch video mentions “20+ customizable artifacts” and shows names such as Eviction Clock, Rap Sheet Reader, Pro Bono Case Board and Guardianship Notice Map; the announcement itself lists six Anthropic tools, four partner tools and nine access-to-justice tools.

Context

Claude’s legal capabilities aren’t new. According to LawSites, Claude’s first legal plugin for Cowork (contract review) came out in February, and on May 12 Anthropic expanded Claude for Legal with more than 20 connectors and 12 practice-area plugins. What’s new are ready-made tools that open with an example and can be shared within a team. LawSites notes that four major AI companies launched legal products in five months: Anthropic (May), Google Gemini Enterprise for Legal (August), OpenAI Astra for Law (September) and Microsoft Copilot for Legal (October).

The announcement doesn’t say which plans include the gallery; the product label on the page is Claude Enterprise. No independent accuracy evaluation of the tools has been published.
