Global firm whose Freshfields Lab of developers and data scientists built its own AI platform; co-builds with Anthropic
The Freshfields Lab is a mixed team of data scientists, AI specialists, developers and lawyers that builds bespoke tools when bought software does not fit, including a GenAI regulatory solution that won an FT Innovative Lawyers award in 2024. In April 2026 Freshfields signed a multi-year deal with Anthropic to co-build legal AI workflows; the Lab built the internal platform that gives about 5,700 staff access to Claude.
