The Legal Stack.

Workflow

research (a legal-specific, cited AI tool — not a general chatbot) → draft (contracts/letters, Claude under review) → review & due diligence (doc analysis) → summarise → comms.

Core stack

a purpose-built legal AI · Claude for drafting/summarising under review.

Verdict

drafting and review are major time-savers; legal research needs purpose-built, citation-backed tools.

Gotchas

general AI invents case law — verify every citation (lawyers have been sanctioned for this); privilege and confidentiality; professional duties.
