Claude Cowork for Lawyers & Paralegals: Hands-On Workshop Built for practicing lawyers and paralegals, this workshop shows you how to use Claude in your day-to-day legal work—from contract review and NDA triage to meeting preparation and first drafts. We'll cover three things: skills that teach Claude your firm's playbooks and drafting style, connectors that connect it to your email, calendar, and documents, and the latest Claude features relevant to legal practice. You'll see practical demonstrations of legal workflows, then work through a task yourself. We'll also discuss confidentiality, privilege, and the points where professional judgment and review remain essential. No technical background needed. Bring a laptop and a task from your practice that you'd like to speed up. You'll leave with a workflow you can put to use Monday morning. This workshop is designed for lawyers, paralegals, and other legal professionals. Priority registration will be given to those working in the legal profession.
