Claude for Microsoft 365: AI for Law Firms and Accountants

Claude is a reasoning AI that connects to your Microsoft 365 environment. It handles document analysis, knowledge synthesis, and draft preparation for law firms and accountancy practices, with full governance and human oversight built in.

Use cases

How law firms and accountants use Claude with Microsoft 365

Knowledge synthesis across SharePoint and email

Search and summarise across documents, emails, and SharePoint libraries without opening every file. Ask questions about your case files or client records, and get answers grounded in your own data.

Contract and document analysis

Review contracts, correspondence, and reports. Extract key clauses, flag inconsistencies, and prepare summaries for partner or manager review.

Draft preparation

Generate first drafts of letters, memos, and internal notes based on your firm's context and tone. Every draft reviewed before sending.

Research and multi-step reasoning

Analyse complex scenarios, compare options, and prepare structured recommendations. Useful for due diligence, compliance checks, and advisory work where context spans many documents.

Governance

Data governance: your firm stays in control

Scoped data access

Claude only accesses the SharePoint sites, email folders, and document libraries you explicitly approve. No broad access to your Microsoft 365 tenant.

Human review on all outputs

Every draft, summary, and recommendation is presented for human approval before use.

No training on your data

Claude does not use your firm's data to train its models. Your information stays private.

Audit logging

Every query and response is logged. Your compliance team can review what was asked, what Claude returned, and who approved it.

Fit

When Claude is the right choice

Claude fits best when your practice needs deep reasoning across large document sets, nuanced draft preparation, or research synthesis that spans dozens of files. It complements Microsoft Copilot rather than replacing it. For firms that want both tools, Evoloop designs governed hybrid setups.
