Legal practitioners can now access Consilio’s Aurora Legal AI directly within Claude and query live Consilio matters without moving, duplicating, or exporting client data out of its secure environment.

Andy Macdonald, CEO of Consilio, said: “As AI becomes embedded in the daily work of legal teams, clients need secure access to their matter data and legal workflows wherever they choose to work.”

 
 

Consilio’s first capability available within Claude is Aurora Legal AI Investigate – part of the Aurora eDiscovery Intelligence Suite – which allows clients to ask natural-language questions across documents and associated metadata in active Consilio matters.

It is built on the Model Context Protocol, an open industry standard for connecting AI platforms to external tools and data.

Additional Consilio projects and workflow projects are expected to follow AI Investigate into the Claude integration.

As enterprise legal departments adopt multiple AI, review, investigation, and matter management tools, the need to prevent new data silos has become increasingly important, Consilio said.

In Consilio’s 2026 Global Survey, 54 per cent of legal professionals cited technology selection and deployment as their top challenge, ahead of work volume, for the first time.

“[The integration] reflects our broader commitment to reducing data silos, preserving governance and giving clients the flexibility to use the platforms that best support their legal operations,” Macdonald said.
