Congrats to Everlaw for not just the announcement that Everlaw announces an Anthropic MCP integration, but two additional announcements! Here are the highlights!

Everlaw Announces Anthropic MCP Integration

As discussed in this blog post by Casey Sullivan, for agentic workflows to work, litigators need AI tools that can securely and seamlessly access and act on the data that drives their matters, wherever that data lives. At the same time, they need to protect that data from being copied into unapproved tools, fragmented across disconnected systems, or accessed outside the governance structures their teams and clients depend on.

That’s why Everlaw is partnering with Anthropic through a Model Context Protocol, or MCP, integration.

With the Everlaw MCP integration, legal teams can use Claude to securely access Everlaw data and complete search, retrieval, and reporting tasks in natural language.

Claude can leverage Everlaw functionality, helping users search across project data, retrieve relevant documents, analyze metadata, and generate structured outputs—all while Everlaw remains the governed system of record for case materials and work product.

Everlaw’s new MCP functionality is available to all joint Everlaw and Anthropic users, including Everlaw for Good partners. Everlaw for Good aims to create a fairer legal system by removing financial and operational barriers to equitable access to justice, grounded in the belief that the justice system only works when all sides have access to the same cutting-edge tools.

Casey’s post continues to discuss Everlaw’s integration with Anthropic, including three workflows made possible with Everlaw’s MCP integration, how Everlaw’s MCP integration with Anthropic works, and how the integration is a step toward agent-first legal work.

Everlaw Expands Legal Holds Capabilities to Deliver Automated, Integrated Preservation Workflows

Yesterday, Everlaw announced significant enhancements to its Legal Holds solution – including integrated questionnaires, a native Workday connector, expanded preservation-in-place integrations, and enhanced reporting and API capabilities – delivering a more automated, integrated approach to preservation for corporate legal teams.

With its latest enhancements, Everlaw is transforming legal holds from a largely administrative task into a centralized, data-driven workflow. The updated solution enables legal teams to automate routine processes, capture critical information earlier in the lifecycle, and manage preservation across systems with greater visibility and control.

The expanded capabilities include:

• Integrated Questionnaires: Teams can now capture structured custodian input at the point of acknowledgment, helping identify additional data sources and improve early case scoping.
• Native Workday Connector: Users can automatically sync custodian and employment data from a leading provider of enterprise cloud applications for finance and HR to reduce manual updates and ensure accuracy as organizations evolve.
• Preservation-in-Place Integrations: With preservation-in-place for Microsoft 365, teams can create, track, and release legal holds directly from Everlaw without needing to open Microsoft Purview. Expanded support for Google Vault and Slack coming soon.
• Enhanced Visibility and Reporting: With centralized custodian views, expanded export functionality, and a Legal Holds API, teams experience improved oversight and downstream integrations.

Together, these enhancements position Everlaw Legal Holds as the premier technology for enterprise legal teams seeking to replace legacy tools and manual processes with a more unified and automated approach. For more information, visit https://www.everlaw.com/legal-holds/.

Everlaw Expands Public Records Capabilities to Deliver Unified Workflows for Government Agencies

Today, Everlaw introduced Everlaw Prime, short for Public Records Intake Management and Ediscovery, to support public records and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for government agencies, extending its platform to address the full lifecycle of FOIA and public records requests.

Government agencies face increasing pressure to respond to public records requests quickly, accurately, and transparently. At the same time, most FOIA and public record programs rely on fragmented systems – one tool for request intake and tracking, and another for review and redaction – creating inefficiencies, higher spending, and increased risk.

The expanded offerings of Prime include:

• Public Records Request Portal: A public-facing interface for submitting and tracking requests, integrated with FOIA.gov and connected directly to downstream review workflows
• Case Management: Centralized tools to manage request intake, perfection, assignments, deadlines, and correspondence across the full request lifecycle
• Automated Review Workflows: Seamless connection to Everlaw review workspaces, with auto-created databases tied to each request for faster ingestion, search, and analysis
• AI-Assisted Review and Redaction: Ediscovery-grade search, analytics, and redaction tools – including predictive coding and AI-assisted workflows – to accelerate review and improve consistency
• Integrated Production and Delivery: Generate and deliver responsive records directly from Everlaw, with audit trails and compliant, text-searchable outputs

“As a former FOIA director, I’ve seen plenty of tools that expect officers to adapt to the software. What I value about Everlaw is that they listened to FOIA officers, built to our workflows, and created something that fits the way FOIA processing actually works,” said Michael Sarich, former Director of FOIA, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs; founding co-chair, Chief FOIA Officers Council Technology Committee.

Everlaw Prime brings together request intake, review, redaction, and production into a single, unified platform. Everlaw anticipates full commercial availability this summer. Interested organizations should reach out to Everlaw here.

Everlaw will host Everlaw Connect: Virtual Gov Forum 2026 on May 13, bringing together federal, state, and local legal professionals for a government-only virtual event focused on training, insights, and peer exchange. Register here.

Congrats again to Everlaw for the announcement that Everlaw announces an Anthropic MCP integration, expands legal holds capabilities, and introduces Everlaw Prime for public records discovery! They’ve been busy!
