What is Harvey?

Harvey is a legal and professional-services AI platform. It is designed to help legal teams research, draft, analyze documents, manage legal knowledge, review contracts, and run AI-assisted legal workflows. For small-firm attorneys, Harvey may be useful for complex research, litigation support, transactional work, due diligence, contract analysis, and document-heavy matters. It is an enterprise-style product, so smaller firms should evaluate pricing, implementation needs, and whether the platform is a practical fit for their size and workflow.

Core Features

For Artificial Intelligence, the following are essential features, and you should therefore expect to see a check in every box in this section.

Yes
No

Product Security

Most AI products are built in such a way that they are inherently insecure. If this box is checked, the product or application claims to keep data secure and away from the prying eyes of the public. Although users should not put client information into these platforms, typically sensitive company information is safe.

Client Confidentiality

While some products are secure enough for your own data, others go the extra step of making sure no third party (even themselves) have access to any of the data in your AI product. In these cases, the provider claims that your data is secure enough to maintain your client's Attorney/Client privilege.

Marketing Tasks

Can this product be used for basic marketing tasks like blog creation, social media videos, or website images?

Documentation Assistance

Can this product be used to help document how to do something, whether internal or external facing?

Non-legal Research

Is this product helpful with basic, non-legal research?

Legal Research

Although answers from any large language model tool should be double checked by an appropriate expert, some products claim to be trained on legal specific information. In these cases, it may be reasonable to trust them with legal specific questions or research. Keep in mind, however, that your professional rules likely require you to check their work.

Basic Drafting

Will this product assist in basic drafting of non-legal specific documents (e.g. email, invoices, job descriptions)?

Legal Specific Drafting

Can this product be useful in handling legal specific drafting?

Contract Management

Can this product be used to create and manage contracts?

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I use Harvey?

Harvey is available through a web-based platform and can be accessed through regional Harvey login environments. Harvey also describes use in Word, Outlook, iManage, and web browsers.

What is the price of Harvey?

Harvey does not publish standard pricing. Firms must request a demo or contact Harvey for pricing.

Does Harvey integrate with my Law Practice Management Software?

Harvey works with legal and business tools such as Word, Outlook, iManage, and web browsers.

Where does Harvey get its information?

Harvey can work from user prompts, uploaded documents, legal documents, firm knowledge, trusted third-party sources, and connected systems. Its platform includes tools for document storage, legal knowledge, contract intelligence, and AI agents.

Does Harvey search caselaw?

Harvey supports legal research and is designed for legal, regulatory, and tax research across domains. Attorneys should still verify cited authorities, legal conclusions, and jurisdiction-specific analysis before relying on the output.

What secondary sources does Harvey have?

Harvey does not publicly describe a fixed library of legal secondary sources like a traditional legal research subscription. It can use trusted third-party sources and connected knowledge sources, but source availability may depend on the firm’s configuration, subscriptions, and integrations.

Is Harvey reliable?

Harvey is built for legal professionals and emphasizes secure, domain-specific AI for complex legal work. Attorneys should still review all output because AI tools can make mistakes, miss context, or produce incomplete analysis.

Is Harvey difficult to use?

Harvey uses a conversational interface, purpose-built tools, and workflow agents, but it may require implementation, source configuration, permissions review, and user training. Smaller firms should evaluate whether the setup effort matches their expected use.

What type of practice uses Harvey?

Harvey is best suited for litigation, transactional, regulatory, tax, due diligence, contract review, professional-services, and document-heavy legal practices.

Does Harvey have reminders and alerts?

Harvey is not designed to be a docketing, calendaring, or law-practice-management reminder system.

Additional Details about Harvey

Legal research and knowledge work

Harvey includes a Knowledge product for researching complex legal, regulatory, and tax questions across domains. It is designed for legal and professional-services teams that need AI support for sophisticated research and analysis. For small firms, this may be useful where research requires more than a general-purpose chatbot and needs to connect with firm knowledge or trusted sources. Attorneys should still verify all legal authorities and conclusions before using research in advice, filings, or client-facing work.

Document analysis and Vault

Harvey’s Vault product is designed to securely store, organize, and bulk-analyze legal documents. This may be helpful for litigation files, diligence sets, contract portfolios, investigations, and other document-heavy matters. The platform also supports analysis and drafting workflows through its Assistant and related tools. The practical value will depend on how well the firm organizes documents and how carefully users review the output.

Contract Intelligence

Harvey includes Contract Intelligence for surfacing insights, strengthening negotiations, and accelerating contract reviews. This supports contract analysis, deal management, due diligence, and transactional workflows. Small firms with repeat contract types or document-heavy transactional work may benefit from faster issue spotting and negotiation support. Harvey should not be treated as a complete replacement for attorney review or a full standalone contract lifecycle management system unless the firm confirms that its configuration supports those needs.

Workflow agents and connected tools

Harvey offers purpose-built agents that can execute complex legal work end to end and can be tailored to a firm’s needs. Harvey also describes an ecosystem that lets users work where they already work, including Word, Outlook, iManage, and web browsers. This may help reduce switching between systems and make AI more useful inside daily legal workflows. Small firms should review implementation requirements, permissions, source access, and quality-control procedures before using agents on client matters.

Who Harvey is for

Best fit

  • Firms that need legal AI for research, drafting, document analysis, contract review, and complex workflows.
  • Litigation, transactional, regulatory, tax, and due diligence practices with document-heavy matters.
  • Firms willing to invest in implementation, permissions review, training, and responsible-use procedures.

Not ideal for

  • Firms that need transparent public pricing before evaluating a product.
  • Small firms that only need a low-cost general drafting assistant.
