Legal Productivity Plugin

An AI-powered productivity plugin for in-house legal teams, primarily designed for Cowork, Anthropic's agentic desktop application — though it also works in Claude Code. Automates contract review, NDA triage, compliance workflows, legal briefings, and templated responses -- all configurable to your organization's specific playbook and risk tolerances.

Disclaimer: This plugin assists with legal workflows but does not provide legal advice. Always verify conclusions with qualified legal professionals. AI-generated analysis should be reviewed by licensed attorneys before being relied upon for legal decisions.

Target Personas

• Commercial Counsel -- Contract negotiation, vendor management, deal support
• Product Counsel -- Product reviews, terms of service, privacy policies, IP matters
• Privacy / Compliance -- Data protection regulations, DPA reviews, data subject requests, regulatory monitoring
• Litigation Support -- Discovery holds, document review prep, case briefings
