Private equity may be dominating the legal conversation right now but another major shift is happening underneath the surface of law firm operations: AI is becoming directly integrated into the tools firms already use every day.

In this episode of The Relay, Gabriel Stiritz sits down with Tyler Stillwell, founder of Banjaxed Solutions, to break down Anthropic’s launch of Claude for Legal, legal AI connectors, and what this means for the future of plaintiff law firms.

From MCPs and AI workflows to “headless” legal tech and the rise of unified AI interfaces, this conversation explores how firms are navigating one of the fastest technological shifts the industry has ever seen and why the firms experimenting today may have the biggest advantage tomorrow.

In this episode:

• What Claude for Legal actually is

• How AI connectors (MCPs) work inside law firms

• Why legal tech may become “invisible” in the future

• The difference between AI copilots vs. connected systems

• Why law firms are entering a new build vs. buy era

• How firms should responsibly adopt AI without compromising client outcomes

• Where human oversight still matters most in legal workflows

Whether you’re actively experimenting with AI or just trying to understand where legal technology is headed, this episode breaks down the practical realities beyond the hype.
