Jackson Walker Chief Innovation Officer Greg Lambert was featured in The Texas Lawbook, where he discussed the recent “Claude Crash” on Wall Street following Anthropic’s announcement of new agentic legal plug‑ins for its Claude platform.

Greg writes that while this agent potentially changes how legal work gets done, the market response doesn’t accurately reflect the value of continued use of trusted legal vendors and tools. Greg’s article covers Texas-specific pressures moving forward, including the legal, ethical, and security-based problems that arise from setting up private agent workflows without proper review and governance.

Greg noted that key takeaways for lawyers include:

• Use agents for intake, routing, classification, first drafts, and playbook-driven review. Keep substantive research anchored in citators and Texas secondary sources.
• Treat renewals with research vendors like integration deals: IAM, logs, audit rights, API entitlements, and pricing for per-call usage.
• Build verification into the workflow as the default. If there is no review gate and audit trail, it does not ship.
