Legal Plugin

Last verified: 13 February 2026 | Applies to: Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise

In 30 seconds

The Legal plugin gives Claude contract review expertise — clause-by-clause analysis, NDA triage with a traffic-light system (GREEN/YELLOW/RED), compliance checks, and DPA review. It’s the plugin most operators ask about first. For operators, it’s practical: it handles the routine legal review that previously required expensive software or outside counsel.

This is not legal advice

The Legal plugin is a review and triage tool, not a substitute for qualified legal counsel. Use it to accelerate routine review and flag risks, but have a lawyer review material contracts, high-value deals, and anything novel.

Key commands

Command	What it does
/review-contract	Analyses a contract clause by clause, flags risks, suggests modifications
/nda-triage	Classifies NDA terms as GREEN (standard), YELLOW (review), or RED (reject/negotiate)

What it knows

The Legal plugin’s skills cover:

• Contract review frameworks — identifies non-standard clauses, liability exposure, termination risks, and unfavourable terms
• NDA analysis — evaluates scope, duration, exclusions, carve-outs, and enforceability against standard market terms
• DPA review — data processing agreement analysis against GDPR and other regulatory requirements
• Compliance screening — checks contracts against common regulatory frameworks
• Risk classification — traffic-light system for quick triage of terms and clauses

How operators use it

Contract review:

/review-contract — Review this vendor agreement [upload file]. Flag any non-standard terms, liability exposure, or clauses that favour the vendor disproportionately. Note anything we should negotiate before signing.

Claude analyses each clause, providing a risk assessment and specific language suggestions for negotiation.

NDA triage:

/nda-triage — Review this mutual NDA [upload file]. We're a 15-person tech company. Flag anything non-standard.

Claude categorises each provision:

• GREEN — standard, acceptable as-is
• YELLOW — review recommended, explain why
• RED — reject or negotiate, with specific concerns

Batch review:

I have 8 vendor NDAs to review this week [upload files]. Triage all of them — just give me the RED and YELLOW items for each.

Compliance check:

Review this data processing agreement against GDPR requirements. Flag any gaps in data subject rights, breach notification, or sub-processor provisions.

The honest take

What works well

• NDA triage is excellent for routine agreements. The traffic-light system makes it easy to focus on what matters.
• Clause-by-clause analysis catches things a human might miss on a quick skim, especially in long contracts.
• Language suggestions for negotiation are practical and well-written.

What doesn’t work as well

• This is not legal advice. Claude can flag risks and suggest language, but a qualified lawyer should review material contracts, high-value deals, and anything novel.
• Jurisdiction-specific nuances can be missed. If you’re dealing with cross-border contracts, specify the governing jurisdiction.
• Very long contracts (100+ pages) may need to be processed in sections due to context window limits.

Who it’s best for: Operators who review routine contracts, NDAs, and compliance documents regularly. Particularly valuable for small businesses without in-house legal teams, and for legal professionals looking to accelerate routine review work.
