AI-native law firms' own lawyers shun internal tools for Claude Code, hinting BigLaw will just acquire them
jkubicki · x · 2026-10-21
After two weeks talking to AI-native law firms, GCs and academics in SF and NYC, Jamie Tsohn notes: top lawyers at AI-native firms refuse internal tools built to beat Harvey/Legora, preferring their own harnesses on Claude Code or Codex; some suspect these firms exist mainly as RL environments generating real datasets for labs; ex-BigLaw lawyers miss headline deals. jkubicki adds the endgame may be BigLaw acquiring AI-native players outright.
