E47 - Zach and Richard’s Excellent Legal AI Adventure: Harvey and Legora vs Claude?

Is the legal AI race still a two-horse battle, or has a new contender changed everything? In this episode, Zach speaks with Richard Tromans, founder of Artificial Lawyer, about the rapid rise of Claude and what it means for the broader legal tech ecosystem. They unpack how frontier model providers are reshaping the market, why law firms are experimenting with multiple AI tools at once, and whether general-purpose AI could start replacing legal-specific platforms. The conversation also explores shifting buying behavior in law firms and in-house teams, the real “moats” in legal AI, and why recent hallucination controversies may say more about legal workflows than the technology itself.
