Claude, configured for the way legal teams actually work.
Legal teams see the AI opportunity, whether that team is a law firm or an in-house department. The slow part has been the gap between Claude as a general-purpose assistant and the specific workflows of legal work. That is where we come in. Document review, intake, client communications, matter management, and drafting, configured around how your team works.
The hours go to the same places, every year.
Every legal team we talk to runs into the same handful of patterns. Different practice areas, same shape: deadline-driven document work where the only way to keep up has been more hours.
Concrete workflows, built around your practice.
We start with the work your team is already doing, calibrated to your voice, taxonomy, and review standards. The workflows below are the ones that show up in a typical week.
Legal taxonomy on the team, and one completed engagement behind us.
Shannon Advisory's legal work is led by Ryan Kashtan, a co-founder who practiced as an attorney at Davis Polk & Wardwell and holds a JD from Harvard Law School. He knows how legal work actually gets done, and what it costs when it's done by hand.
Behind that, one completed engagement in legal services: a deadline-driven, document-heavy operation in the adjacent ecosystem to a law firm. The anonymized case study is published now; the named version follows with the client's written approval.
Shannon Advisory is a member of the Claude Partner Network.
Read the case studyStart with one workflow.
For most legal teams, the right first step is Build: one high-leverage workflow, turned into a working system your team runs, on a fixed timeline.
One specific problem, turned into a working system. We build it, test it against your real work, and hand it over running. Pricing by proposal.
See the Build pageNot sure where to start? Adopt is built for that: team training, a workflow audit, and an opportunity map that surface the workflow worth building first.
Questions firms ask before the first call.
Yes. This page is for the lean legal team, whether that is a small or midsize firm or an in-house department of a handful of lawyers. Both run intake, review, drafting, and matter management with more work than hands. We configure Claude for the way your team already runs that work and get everyone using it. The larger institutional legal-AI products serve a different scale of operation; this is built for what a lean team actually does in a week.
Confidentiality is the first decision in any legal engagement. We map data flow before we write a prompt: where matter information lives, who can see what, what stays inside the organization. Different deployment options carry different posture; we walk through them and pick the one that matches your obligations.
A typical Build engagement runs four to six weeks from kickoff to handoff. That is enough to design, build, test against real matter examples, document, and train the team. Larger or more integrated implementations take longer; we recommend starting with one workflow.
Lightly, usually. For a workflow that lives inside a Claude account and operates on documents your team brings to it, IT involvement is minimal. For workflows that integrate with your document management or matter management system, IT or the vendor needs to be in the loop. We map that out during discovery, before anything gets built.
Most teams have. The reason it did not stick is almost always the same: someone tried a generic tool on a generic prompt, got a generic result, and stopped. The work is in the configuration and the workflow design. We start by finding where Claude will actually pay off for your team, then build for that.
Pick one workflow. Ship it in six weeks.
