What is legal AI, and how does Solorai help?

Legal AI is the use of AI models such as Claude to review contracts, research questions and draft documents, with a lawyer responsible for every output. Solorai sets up Claude Enterprise for law firms and in-house legal teams, builds AI agents for legal workflows and governs their use under the EU AI Act.

What can law firms and legal teams do with Claude?

The six uses legal teams usually start with. A lawyer checks every output before it reaches a client, a counterparty or a court.

  • Law firms and in-house

    Contract review and redlining

    Compare each contract with your playbook, flag the clauses that depart from it and propose redlines for a lawyer to approve.

  • Law firms

    Legal research and memos

    Research a question across your sources and draft a memo with citations that a lawyer can check line by line.

  • Law firms

    Due diligence

    Review data room documents in bulk and build issue lists by topic and risk, ready for the deal team.

  • Law firms and in-house

    Drafting from precedents

    Draft first versions of letters, clauses and submissions from your own precedents and templates.

  • Law firms

    Matter knowledge

    Search past matters and internal know-how through connectors to your document management system, with permissions intact.

  • In-house teams

    Intake and triage

    Sort incoming requests from the business, answer the routine ones and route the rest to the right lawyer.

Confidentiality and compliance

How does legal AI stay confidential and compliant?

Client confidentiality comes first. These are the controls we put in place before the first matter goes into Claude.

  • Confidentiality by design

    Work runs in your own Claude Enterprise organisation, with single sign-on, roles and matter permissions. Under Anthropic’s commercial terms, your content is not used to train models by default.

  • A lawyer signs off

    Every output that leaves the firm or the legal team is reviewed and approved by a lawyer. AI agents ask for approval before they send anything.

  • Data protection

    Personal data is processed under a data processing agreement, with retention rules you decide and access logged.

  • Classified under the EU AI Act

    We classify each use before it goes live and write the firm’s AI policy, so lawyers know what they may and may not do.

FAQ

Legal AI, in short

What is legal AI?

Legal AI is the use of AI models such as Claude for legal work: reviewing contracts, researching questions, drafting documents and searching a firm’s knowledge. A lawyer stays responsible for every output.

What is Claude for Legal?

Claude for Legal is the offering Anthropic launched in May 2026 for law firms and in-house legal teams, with practice-area plugins and connectors to legal software. Solorai is independent from Anthropic: we help firms set up Claude, configure it with their own playbooks and govern its use.

Can a law firm use AI without breaching client confidentiality?

Yes, with the right setup: Claude Enterprise with single sign-on, roles and matter permissions, a data processing agreement and retention rules. Under Anthropic’s commercial terms, content is not used to train models by default. Firms should also set a clear internal AI policy.

Is legal AI high-risk under the EU AI Act?

Usually not. Contract review, research and drafting inside a law firm are not high-risk uses. AI that helps a judicial authority interpret facts and the law, and AI used to screen job applicants, are high-risk under Annex III, with obligations from 2 December 2027.

How does a law firm start with AI?

With an AI readiness assessment of about 2 weeks, then a pilot with one practice group of up to 50 people, then a rollout of 6 to 8 weeks to the whole firm.

Do you work with in-house legal teams?

Yes. In-house teams use the same setup for contract review, intake triage and policy work, connected to the company’s own systems.
