legal-risk-assessment
Assess and classify legal risks using a severity-by-likelihood framework
by anthropicsFree
Description
legal-risk-assessment is a skill from Anthropic's knowledge-work plugins, listed on skills.sh. It assesses and classifies legal risks for an in-house legal team, using a framework that combines severity with likelihood. Severity is the impact if the risk happens, and likelihood is how probable it is, and together they place each risk in a matrix that sets its priority and the escalation it needs. The skill is used when evaluating contract risk, assessing the exposure of a deal, or documenting a legal risk. The framework is described as a starting point, which the organisation should adjust to its own risk appetite and industry. The page is clear that the skill assists legal workflows and does not give legal advice, and that risk assessments should be reviewed by qualified legal professionals. It suits in-house counsel who want consistent, documented ratings of risks across deals and contracts.…
