Harvey AI Solutions Overview

Harvey Assistant

The core conversational AI interface for asking questions, analyzing documents, and drafting content. Think of it as an AI associate who understands legal context.

Example: "Review this merger agreement and identify any provisions that deviate from our standard terms for transactions over $50M."

Harvey Vault

Secure document repository for uploading, organizing, and analyzing large document sets. Essential for transaction and litigation support.

Example: Upload a virtual data room of 10,000 documents and ask Harvey to identify all change of control provisions across the document set.

Harvey Knowledge

Research engine for complex legal, regulatory, and tax questions. Now enhanced with LexisNexis content integration.

Example: "What are the SEC disclosure requirements for related-party transactions exceeding $120,000 under Item 404 of Regulation S-K?"

Harvey Workflows

Pre-built and custom workflows for common legal processes—due diligence, compliance reviews, contract analysis.

Example: Run a standardized due diligence workflow that extracts key terms, identifies risks, and generates a summary memo for every transaction.

Microsoft Integrations

Harvey embedded in Word, Outlook, and SharePoint for seamless workflow integration without context switching.

Example: Review and redline a contract directly in Word, with Harvey suggesting modifications based on your firm's playbook.

M&A Due Diligence

Analyzing data rooms with thousands of documents to identify risks, extract key terms, and generate summary reports.

Example: "Review all contracts in this data room and identify any change of control provisions, termination rights, or assignment restrictions that could affect the transaction."

Why it excels: Harvey Vault handles document volume that would take associate teams weeks. The structured output feeds directly into due diligence memos.

Contract Review and Negotiation

Comparing incoming contracts against your firm's standards, identifying deviations, and suggesting redlines.

Example: "Compare this vendor's MSA to our standard template. Highlight any terms that are more favorable to the vendor than our typical positions, and suggest alternative language."

Why it excels: Microsoft Word integration means attorneys work in familiar tools. Harvey learns your firm's preferred positions over time.

Legal Research with Citation

Complex legal questions requiring authoritative answers with primary law citations.

Example: "What is the current standard for piercing the corporate veil in Delaware, and how have recent Chancery Court decisions affected the traditional Alter Ego test?"

Why it excels: LexisNexis integration means answers cite to authoritative case law, not general web sources. This is research you can rely on.

Litigation Document Drafting

First drafts of motions, briefs, discovery requests, and correspondence.

Example: "Draft a motion to compel discovery responses for interrogatories 5-12. The opposing party objected on relevance grounds, but the information is directly related to our breach of fiduciary duty claim. Include relevant caselaw from this jurisdiction."

Why it excels: Legal-specific training means Harvey understands procedural requirements, citation formats, and persuasive legal writing conventions.

Regulatory Compliance Analysis

Cross-jurisdictional analysis of regulatory requirements and compliance obligations.

Example: "Our client is expanding into the EU market. Summarize the GDPR requirements applicable to their customer data processing, and compare to their current privacy practices."

Why it excels: Harvey Knowledge can synthesize regulatory requirements across jurisdictions—work that previously required multi-office coordination.

What's your firm size and structure?

Harvey is optimized for large firms with 50+ attorneys. Smaller firms may find CoCounsel or practice management-integrated solutions more appropriate.

What's your current LexisNexis vs. Westlaw commitment?

If you're a LexisNexis shop, Harvey's content partnership is a major advantage. If you're committed to Westlaw, CoCounsel may offer better integration.

What workflows will you prioritize?

Harvey ROI is highest for high-volume, repetitive legal work—M&A due diligence, contract review, regulatory compliance. Ad hoc research benefits less from the enterprise investment.

Do you have change management capacity?

Successful AI adoption requires training, workflow redesign, and cultural change. Firms without dedicated innovation or knowledge management resources struggle with implementation.

What's your client expectation?

If sophisticated corporate clients are asking about your AI capabilities, Harvey provides a strong answer. If clients aren't asking, the urgency may be lower.

Have you validated ROI with a pilot?

Don't commit to enterprise deployment without a proof-of-concept. Harvey typically offers pilot programs—use them to measure actual time savings and quality impact.
