About this audiobook
Claude for Transactional Lawyers: The AI-Native M&A Playbook is a practitioner-oriented guide to integrating artificial intelligence into the full lifecycle of complex commercial transactions. Written for corporate associates, in-house counsel at VC and PE funds, and senior partners, the book presents a systematic methodology for deploying AI across deal execution — from structuring and due diligence through drafting, negotiation, and closing compliance. It covers model selection strategy, agentic workflow architecture, prompt engineering for legal reasoning, the construction of reusable Skills and Deal Projects, and the Model Context Protocol for live system integration. Grounded in the regulatory realities of Indian transactional practice — including the Companies Act, 2013 and FEMA — the methodologies are jurisdiction-agnostic and readily adaptable. The book concludes with a candid assessment of failure modes, governance frameworks, and the future of AI-native legal practice.
