Why this matters

Latham & Watkins is testing capability in the open. This is a high-significance signal for buyers benchmarking their panel.

A Bloomberg Law deep-dive reveals Latham & Watkins (governance frameworks), Wachtell, and Skadden also helped develop/test OpenAI's "Astra for Law" (a legal-specific model configuration), alongside the already-logged Sullivan & Cromwell and Ropes & Gray tools. Astra for Law is initially available via OpenAI's Trusted Access Program; Harvey and Legora will build on it via API. Quote: "Working with OpenAI gave us access to top-tier AI engineering talent that significantly facilitated the development of our tool." — John Savva, S&C Silicon Valley partner.
