# Anthropic hires legal-tech founder to lead its push into law

*2026-08-12 · Source: [The Decoder](https://the-decoder.com/legal-startup-founder-robert-mahari-joins-anthropic-to-lead-claudes-push-into-law-practices/)*

Robert Mahari, a legal startup founder, has joined Anthropic as its first Head of Claude for Legal, a role focused on deploying and expanding Claude within the legal industry.

**Why it matters:** Legal is shaping up as one of the clearer high-value enterprise verticals for AI; a dedicated leadership hire signals Anthropic is investing in vertical go-to-market rather than treating legal as a generic use case. It follows other reported traction in the space, including the Pakistani judiciary case-resolution results already in the feed.
