Is Cowork useful for legal teams?

Yes. Cowork speeds up contract review, NDA triage, compliance analysis, and response drafting. Legal teams use it to process documents faster and catch issues earlier.

What plugin should legal teams install first?

The Legal plugin bundles contract review, compliance, and documentation tools that most legal teams need.

Is it safe to connect Box or Egnyte?

Yes. You explicitly authorize Cowork's access to your document repository, control which folders and files it can read, and can revoke access anytime. All document access is logged for audit.

Do I need the desktop app?

Any paid Claude plan on desktop, web, or mobile works with Cowork. The desktop app is best for local files and offers the most complete experience, but web and mobile are great for quick reviews on the go.

A realistic first task

You have three vendor contracts to review by end of week. Instead of reading them cover-to-cover, upload them to Cowork. Ask Claude to extract key terms (payment, liability, IP ownership, term, termination), flag any non-standard provisions, and create a comparison matrix. Then ask for a summary of risks and draft redlines for each. Cowork cuts contract review time in half.
