Why this matters
BakerHostetler has moved past pilots into deployment, with Intapp DealCloud in the stack. A meaningful marker of where the firm's capability is heading.
Intapp announced general availability of Celeste, an agentic "AI coworker" designed to run business operations for professional firms — deal screening, conflicts clearance, business development, and end-to-end lateral hiring. BakerHostetler was named as one of Celeste's early-adopter law firm customers during its limited release (alongside private equity firm Hg), roughly five months after Intapp first previewed the product. Celeste can invoke Harvey's practice-of-law workflows under compliance/ethical-wall controls and runs Anthropic's Claude models within Intapp's governed environment.
""Celeste was designed to meet professionals in their workflow — not pull them out of it." — Don Coleman, Chief Operating Officer, Intapp (re: Celeste platform generally, via LawSites)"
