MCP Use Cases for Legal Firm Brands
Legal firms face a critical integration challenge: while AI adoption accelerates across the profession, most firms lack the infrastructure to deploy these tools securely, at scale, and with proper governance. The Model Context Protocol (MCP)—often described as "USB-C for AI"—provides the missing layer that connects AI agents to document management systems, legal databases, case management platforms, and client communication tools while maintaining confidentiality and compliance.
For legal firms seeking unified AI governance, an MCP Gateway provides centralized control over authentication, audit logging, and tool access across every AI orchestrator your team uses—from ChatGPT to Claude to Microsoft Copilot. This transforms scattered AI experiments into production-ready infrastructure that supports governance controls aligned with confidentiality and supervision obligations (requirements vary by jurisdiction).
