The Firm Brain Build
One Brain. Every lawyer. Same Skills. A live room of law firm owners watched Irfad architect a firm-wide Claude — Team plan, Ask Your Org across Gmail and Drive, shared Skills installed once for the whole team, and the six-folder Drive structure that turns the documents your firm already has into the Brain it can share.
Both free. Lab 6 — Foundational #3: The Claude Coworking Workshop for Lawyers. Aliza Rizvi. Wednesday, May 20 · 11 AM PT.

Inside this recording
What you'll walk away with
Pro vs Max vs Team — and when $30/seat/month on Team starts paying for itself. The simple rule: if more than one attorney needs to use the same Claude, you're already past Pro.
The Three-Question Skill discovery framework. Run a 15-minute 1:1 with every person on your team: what do you redo every week, what do you keep reminding the AI of, what's your unique way of doing X. That's your Skill backlog, ranked by their pain.
Ask Your Org — the Team-plan feature that turns Gmail, Drive, and Slack into one searchable brain. Demoed live: Facebook ads numbers pulled from Sheets and rendered as a working dashboard in 90 seconds.
The pivot away from GitHub. The room voted with their hands — Drive and SharePoint are where your firm already lives, so that's where the Brain belongs. GitHub waits until you have a developer on the bench.
The 6 anchors of a Firm Brain in Drive — Matters, Practice Area SOPs, Precedent Library, Voice + Intake Scripts, Templates, Institutional Memory. Plus claude.md at the root as the onboarding doc that points Claude at every folder.
Sharing Skills firmwide without nine forks. Team plan: zip the Skill, drop it in Organization Settings, every lawyer runs the identical one. Pro and Max: zip plus email or Slack, manual install. Either way — one canonical Skill, zero drift.
The Blueprint
The 6 anchors of a Firm Brain
Six folders in Drive or SharePoint. One claude.md at the root that points Claude at all of them. That's the Brain. Every lawyer in your firm gets the same one.
The container
Matters
Every active client file, indexed by matter name plus status. Claude reads across matters when a question spans clients (think conflicts checks, recurring fact patterns), but the privilege wall stays intact at the folder boundary.
Process
Practice Area SOPs
Your firm's actual playbooks — intake, discovery, deposition prep, settlement, trial. The documents your paralegals already follow. Claude turns these into the answers every team member gives in the same voice.
Substance
Precedent Library
Briefs, motions, demand letters, contract clauses you've drafted and won with before. Claude pulls the right precedent, in your firm's language, instead of inventing one from scratch.
Voice
Voice + Intake Scripts
How your firm actually talks to clients on the phone, in welcome emails, in status updates. The piece that stops Claude from sounding like every other AI-generated message in the inbox.
Operations
Templates
Engagement letters, fee agreements, retainer forms, the routine documents Claude will drop into Drive or Gmail when a Skill fires. Stored once, used by every Skill that touches new clients.
Memory
Institutional Memory
Partner decisions, the why-we-do-things-this-way notes, the lore that lives in your head. The folder that survives senior attorneys leaving. Claude reads it as context on every matter.
GitHub is the more advanced version of this. For most firms, Drive plus a claude.md at the root is the right stepping stone — and the one your team will actually use.
Let us map your first anchor.
Six folders is the right answer for every firm. Which one to build first is not. Take a 60-second firm diagnostic — we point you at the anchor that fixes your biggest leak, with the exact Skill prompt your team needs once the folder is in place.
Take the diagnosticFree. ~60 seconds. Your answers map to a specific anchor and the Skill that activates it.
Voice Style Assessment
Voice + Intake folder
Bottleneck Assessment
Practice Area SOPs folder
Team Adoption Assessment
Institutional Memory folder
…plus 9 more diagnostics, each mapped to a specific anchor.
