Harvey

• June 11, 2026: Harvey’s June product update emphasized tighter contract workflow control, faster large-document review, and stronger mobile work support.
• June 2, 2026: Harvey opened a Singapore office, adding to Bengaluru and Sydney in APAC and naming WongPartnership, Rajah & Tann, Drew & Napier, Braddell Brothers, Lee & Lee, Oon & Bazul, TSMP, the Attorney-General’s Chambers, Airwallex, PwC, and the Singapore Judiciary as regional/customer signals.
• May 28, 2026: Harvey made Claude Opus 4.8 available in Harvey, reporting gains on Harvey’s Legal Agent Benchmark and BigLaw Bench and positioning the model for eligible US and EU clients first.
• May 21, 2026: Harvey introduced Contract Intelligence for in-house teams, covering intake, contract review, negotiation positions, clause/playbook learning, and portfolio-wide contract visibility.
• May 20, 2026: Harvey introduced Command Center for legal-ops and innovation owners, with usage transparency, peer benchmarking, agentic deployment insights, and release recommendations.
• May 12, 2026: Anthropic launched Claude for Legal with Harvey as a first-party MCP connector. The integration puts Vault-grounded retrieval and Harvey Workflows inside the Word, Outlook, Excel, and PowerPoint surfaces Claude embeds in via Microsoft 365. Freshfields, Quinn Emanuel, Holland & Knight, and Crosby joined as launch customers.
• April 30, 2026: Legora added $50M from NVentures and Atlassian, reaching a $5.6B valuation. Harvey remains the larger legal-AI platform by reported valuation, but Legora is now the clearest scaled challenger.
• March 30, 2026: Harvey closed a $200M Series E at an $11B valuation led by GIC and Sequoia, taking total funding above $1B and confirming category-leader status.

Pick Harvey if the firm is an AmLaw 100 or equivalent and needs legal-domain AI with retrieval grounded on firm documents. Vault keeps drafting tied to the firm’s own precedent and client files. Agents and Workflows cover recurring heavy lifting such as due diligence, contract review, fund formation, drafting, and regulatory research. Contract Intelligence and Command Center add two buyer-facing 2026 signals: Harvey is moving from “legal chatbot” into contract operations plus deployment governance. The $11B valuation, $190M ARR, 60 AmLaw 100 firms, and 142,000+ professional users remain the clearest signs that the category leader has real institutional adoption.

Skip it if the firm is too small to justify a six-figure contract or needs a general-purpose assistant. Harvey has no published self-serve tier. Reported ACV sits around $1,000 to $1,200 per lawyer per month before any custom-model work, which prices out most boutiques and solo practitioners. For general drafting, ChatGPT or Claude cost a fraction.

Who pays which tier: everyone is Enterprise. The only decision is annual contract value, which scales with seat count, Vault/storage scope, product surface, workflow customization, implementation support, and whether the firm commissions custom model or agent work.

• No public pricing. Every deal is bespoke. Comparing value across firms, or even across renewal cycles, requires back-channel intelligence.
• Price floor excludes small firms. At roughly $1,000+ per lawyer per month, Harvey is not a realistic purchase for most boutiques, regional firms, or solo practices.
• Cloud-only. Firms with strict data-residency or air-gap requirements cannot deploy Harvey on-prem.
• Hallucination risk remains. Vault grounding materially reduces hallucinations but does not eliminate them. Citations and case references still need lawyer review before filing.
• Model-vendor dependency is still partly opaque. Harvey has public ties to OpenAI, Anthropic, and other frontier-model providers, but end users do not always see which model is running which task. Procurement should ask how routing, fallback, pricing exposure, and data handling work by product surface.
• Opaque model routing. Which underlying model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or custom) handles a given task is not always surfaced to the end user.
• Long procurement cycle. AmLaw-scale procurement, security review, and pilot design can run six to twelve months before go-live.
• Category competition intensifying. New legal-AI entrants are appearing monthly. Harvey’s lead is real but not unassailable on any single feature.

No individual human wrote this review. Scoring follows the four-dimension rubric at /about/scoring/ (Utility x Value x Moat x Longevity, unweighted average). Last verified 2026-06-25 against the Harvey website, Harvey’s June product update, Singapore announcement, May 28 Opus 4.8 product post, and Contract Intelligence and Command Center posts. Funding and distribution context was checked against the Harvey blog post on the $11B funding round, CNBC coverage, Reuters reporting on the March 2026 raise, and the May 12 Anthropic Claude for Legal launch coverage.

What does Harvey cost? Enterprise contracts only. Harvey publishes no list price. Third-party reporting puts ACV roughly between $1,000 and $1,200 per lawyer per month, with large-firm deals running into the mid-six figures annually. There is no free trial.

Which underlying AI models does Harvey use? Harvey runs on a mix of frontier models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) plus custom fine-tunes. OpenAI was the seed investor and remains the deepest partner, though Harvey is not exclusively GPT-based.

Who uses Harvey? Sixty AmLaw 100 firms, over 500 in-house legal teams, 50 asset management firms, and 142,000+ professionals overall as of June 25, 2026. Named clients include A&O Shearman, Reed Smith, Vinson & Elkins, O’Melveny, CMS, Cuatrecasas, Dentons, BakerHostetler, DLA Piper, Deutsche Telekom, HSBC, NBCUniversal, and Singapore/APAC customers named in Harvey’s June 2 Singapore announcement. Freshfields, Quinn Emanuel, Holland & Knight, and Crosby came in as launch customers for the Harvey-via-Claude integration on May 12, 2026.

Is Harvey integrated with Claude? Yes. As of May 12, 2026, Harvey is a first-party MCP connector inside Anthropic’s Claude for Legal. That puts Vault-grounded retrieval and Harvey Workflows inside Claude’s Microsoft 365 integration (Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint) alongside Relativity, Everlaw, Thomson Reuters CoCounsel, DocuSign, and Box. Harvey’s primary product surface remains its own platform; the Claude integration is an additional distribution channel.

What is Vault? A secure document store plus retrieval-grounded drafting. Upload firm precedent, client contracts, and matter files. Vault grounds LLM output on those documents, which reduces hallucinations relative to ungrounded chat.

What are Harvey Workflows? Pre-built task agents tuned for recurring legal work: M&A due diligence, contract review, fund formation, litigation research, regulatory memos. Over 25,000 custom agents run on Harvey today, including long-horizon agents that span multi-day processes.

Is Harvey secure enough for privileged client data? Harvey holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, and is GDPR and CCPA compliant, with SAML SSO, audit logs, and IP allow-listing as baseline enterprise controls. Major law firms including A&O Shearman, Reed Smith, and Vinson & Elkins have cleared it through procurement. On-prem deployment is not offered; the platform is cloud-native.
