Using Claude and ChatGPT in a law firm, with your firm's own matters
Your lawyers are already in Claude or ChatGPT. On their own, those assistants do not know your firm. Connected, they can.
What they are good at
A general assistant is very good at thinking a problem through, producing a first draft, and giving a second opinion on an argument. It is the cheapest place for a lawyer to start, and many already have.
What they are missing
On its own, the assistant does not have your firm: the matter, the documents on it, the client, the dates, your own forms and the positions you take in a contract. It holds what you paste into it and forgets the rest.
Pasting is also where the risk is. Before any client material goes in, check your plan's data terms, and who at the firm can see the conversation.
What changes when the firm is connected
Connect Volares to Claude or ChatGPT and ask about a matter, open a new one after a conflict check, send the client an upload link, or ask what the firm accepts in a clause, from its own playbook.
In Claude, the connector form opens with Volares already filled in. ChatGPT adds Volares on a computer, not in its phone app. On a team or enterprise plan, the workspace owner adds it once for the firm.
What it does not do
It does not make the assistant a lawyer. What comes back is for a lawyer to read. And it does not search case law yet, in any jurisdiction.
