Scoring reflects the documented behavior of Claude used directly, without a litigation layer, as of the date shown. Cells marked for review are OurFirm.ai's characterization of Claude's general-purpose behavior and Anthropic's data-use terms, which vary by product and plan and should be checked against current terms.
Where OurFirm.ai wins
What you get that Claude doesn't.
Verification, not just careful generation
Claude is known for careful output, but a general model still cannot confirm a citation exists in a legal database. OurFirm.ai's Check My Cites verifies every citation, quote, and pin cite against US legal databases before you file.
Judicial intelligence Claude doesn't have
OurFirm.ai surfaces how a specific federal judge tends to rule on motions and grant oral argument, drawn from a proprietary dataset of opinions, transcripts, and dockets that no general model has.
A litigation workflow, not a blank chat
OurFirm.ai runs a multi-agent drafting workflow grounded in your case file, jurisdiction rules, and litigation templates, rather than a general assistant you have to prompt from scratch.
Built on frontier models, hardened for court
OurFirm.ai layers enterprise-grade security, docket access, and contractual data terms on top of frontier models including Anthropic's, so you get the reasoning quality plus the litigation guardrails.
Our own data and search, not a rented database
OurFirm.ai runs on its own nationwide caselaw database, docket data, trial transcripts, and thousands of document templates, searched with retrieval we built for law. General models have no legal database at all and search the open web, so they can't ground answers in real caselaw or dockets. Owning both the data and the search means more accurate, court-ready results — and that dataset is our moat.
Built by a litigator
Why litigators need their own AI
If you are weighing OurFirm.ai against Claude, the difference that matters most is who it was built for. OurFirm.ai produces work product ready for a judge and a filing deadline, not general legal text you have to reshape for the courtroom.
General legal AI platforms and general-purpose models are built for breadth: many practice areas, many use cases, one tool for everyone. Litigation is different. It runs on the record, the docket, the rules of a specific court, and the tendencies of a specific judge.
OurFirm.ai was built by a trial attorney to work the way litigators actually work. That experience is embedded directly into how the platform drafts, researches, and verifies, so the output reflects courtroom reality rather than generic legal text.

Where Claude may fit better
We're not for every practice.
- Drafting, summarizing, and reasoning over long documents in non-filing work that a lawyer reviews before use, an area where Claude is particularly strong.
- Firms that want a flexible general-purpose assistant across many tasks and will handle citation checking and jurisdiction rules themselves.

FAQ
Common questions.
How is OurFirm.ai different from using Claude directly?
OurFirm.ai is a litigation system, not a general chatbot. On top of frontier-model reasoning it adds citation verification, PACER and NYSCEF docket search, federal judge profiles, jurisdiction-specific templates, and enterprise-grade security with contractual data terms. Using Claude directly gives you strong general reasoning without any of those litigation-specific guarantees.
Does Claude verify legal citations?
No. Claude can write and reason about legal text, but it does not verify that a cited case exists, is good law, or supports the proposition it is cited for. OurFirm.ai's Check My Cites runs every citation through extraction, treatment, quote, and pin-cite checks before filing.
When should I still use Claude?
Claude is a strong choice for internal memos, first-draft client communications, and long-document summarization or reasoning that a subject-matter expert reviews before anything is filed or sent. For court-bound work, use a verified litigation platform.
Security & compliance
Enterprise-grade security, without the enterprise overhead
Being purpose-built for client matters does not mean trading away security. OurFirm.ai runs the same controls the largest firms require, and client documents are never used to train AI models. That is a contractual commitment, not a setting you have to find and switch on.
Visit the Trust Center →No training on client data
Contractual no-training terms with our AI subprocessors. Your matters never enter a training pipeline.
Per-firm and per-matter isolation
Data is isolated by firm, attorney, and conversation, so nothing is co-mingled across clients.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
TLS 1.3 protects data in transit and AES-256 protects it at rest, with no exceptions for AI traffic.
SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR aligned
SOC 2 Type I is complete and Type II is underway. HIPAA-aligned BAA and GDPR/CCPA-aligned DPA available under NDA.
