What members are saying
“I was about to quote a potential client. Claude pulled the HeyCounsel data and told me I was on the low end for my hourly rate and should raise it. Absolutely loved it.”
Capote Law Firm
“I was working through whether I needed an ERISA attorney on a deal and — without me asking — HeyCounsel MCP offered to source a fractional ERISA specialist from the HeyCounsel network and pull a shortlist. Incredible!”
Current Counsel
“I'm planning my firm expansion using Claude and the HeyCounsel MCP is kicking butt. So far it's helped me identify of-counsel candidates to recruit, plan comp models, and revise my subscription pricing.”
Darwin Legal
“I've been experimenting with using the MCP as my practice coach. It told me some things I already knew I needed to do, and a few I noted for future exploration. It also gave me some frank advice!”
Mosaic Legal Group
What your AI gets access to
Real bodies of knowledge that members built, and that no general model has seen.
1.The community Slack
3 years and 50,036+ messages of members working through problems together. In most Slacks that knowledge disappears into scroll history. Here Claude reads it back to you.
2.HeyCounsel Edu
Every recorded session in the library: outside experts and working practitioners who already solved the problem you're hitting now.
3.Real firm statistics (from Pulse surveys)
Survey responses on how independent lawyers run their practices: rates, billing models, firm structure, and business development.
4.Real review data on tools (from Pulse surveys)
What solos and small firms run their practices on, across 20+ categories, rated by the members paying the bills.
5.Member-vetted templates
Members used and reviewed all 400+ of them. Each one is tied to a member-contributor, so you can reach out directly with questions.
How members use it
Real questions, from the day-to-day to the decisions that shape your practice. For anything marked can run on a schedule, you can set it once and Claude checks in for you periodically.
“I'm quoting a SaaS company for ongoing commercial work. Am I priced right?”
Know what to charge before you send the quote
Why this helps
Claude checks your rate against what comparable members charge in your practice area, firm size, and jurisdiction, then tells you if you're leaving money on the table.
“This deal has an ERISA component I don't handle. Who in my network does?”
Fill the gap on a matter you can't cover alone
Why this helps
A deal needs expertise outside your lane. Claude searches the member network and comes back with a shortlist, often before you think to ask.
“Knowing what you know about my practice, what are 3 business development ideas and 3 firm operations optimizations I could make based on community best practices?”
A practice coach that already knows your practice
Why this helps
Claude reads your profile, your Pulse answers, and what's working for comparable members, then names specific moves you can make this quarter.
“What's the best legal research AI tool for small firms and solos?”
Vet a tool before you buy it
Why this helps
Members rate the tools they pay for across 20+ categories, with pricing attached. Claude tells you what solos and small firms run, what they think of it, and what it costs them.
“What did I miss in Slack this week that's relevant to my practice?”
A week of community discussion, in 30 seconds
Why this helps
50,036+ Slack messages is more than you can keep up with. Claude reads the parts relevant to your practice and tells you what's worth a reply.
“Find me a contractor agreement template I can adapt for a design client.”
Never start a document from scratch
Why this helps
Members vetted all 400+ templates. Claude finds the right starting point and adapts it to the matter in front of you.
“Who in the community does complementary work to mine that I could build a referral relationship with?”
Find the members worth trading referrals with
Why this helps
Claude looks at what you do, then finds members whose practice sits next to yours without overlapping. Those are the people to trade referrals with.
“Scan recent open opportunities for ones I'm a real fit for, and help me draft a proposal.”
Bid only on work you'll win
Why this helps
Claude cross-references open opportunities against your profile, practice areas, and bar admissions, tells you which are worth your time, and drafts the proposal for the ones that are.
