Definition

The Compliance & Legal Agent is a Claude agent that reviews contracts, GDPR requests and KYC/AML files to flag risky clauses and regulatory gaps. It classifies each file, drafts a reasoned summary and routes sensitive cases to a lawyer, who keeps the decision. The demo below replays this workflow on sample files.

Under the hood

How the agent works

The agent works alongside the legal team and the compliance officer. It takes on the reading and preparation that eat up most of the time on a routine file, and leaves interpretation and decisions to the lawyers. It connects to your contract repositories and existing tools without changing your approval workflows.

01

What it takes in

Commercial contracts and terms and conditions, GDPR data subject requests received by email or web form, and the regulatory texts it monitors on your behalf. It relies on your own references: clause library, internal procedures, record of processing activities and the negotiation positions approved by the legal department.

02

What it does

It classifies each file (contract, GDPR, regulatory compliance), extracts clauses and obligations, then compares them with your standards to find gaps and risks. For a GDPR request, it checks the requester's identity, locates the data involved and prepares the steps needed within the legal deadline. Every point it raises links back to the passage in the document that supports it.

03

What it hands back

A structured report for each file: risky clauses ranked by severity, gaps against your standards, suggested rewording and a reasoned recommendation. For regulatory monitoring, a summary of new obligations and the teams they affect. The lawyer gets a file ready for a decision, without rereading the whole document to find their way around it.

Who decides what

Green zone · the agent acts alone

Sorting requests, extracting clauses, routine regulatory monitoring and preparing summaries. None of these tasks changes any of your commitments, and all of them are logged.

Orange zone · a human approves first

Any recommendation on a contract, any reply to a GDPR request and any finding of non-compliance. The agent proposes, and a lawyer approves before anything goes out.

Red zone · the agent stops and escalates

A contract that departs sharply from your templates, an ambiguous request or unexpected sensitive data. The agent stops, records what it understood and what is missing, then alerts the designated owner.

Three typical situations

01

Reviewing a SaaS contract

A vendor sends over its contract. The agent flags the liability, reversibility and data location clauses that depart from your positions, and suggests rewording to the lawyer.

02

A GDPR erasure request

A customer asks for their data to be deleted. The agent identifies the systems that hold it, checks any retention obligations that prevent deletion and prepares the reply and actions for approval.

03

Tracking the AI Act

A new obligation is published. The agent summarises what changes, points to the internal uses affected and proposes a list of actions to the person in charge of compliance.

Faster review, broader regulatory coverage, accelerated KYC. Deployed via Claude Ignite, in shadow then canary mode under LOOP™ governance.
Which documents can the agent review?
Commercial contracts, terms and conditions, GDPR data subject requests, KYC and AML files, and internal policies. It works on the formats you already use (PDF, Word, email) and relies on your clause library and procedures to judge what counts as a gap.
