The Brief:
DLA Piper rolls out Harvey across its global footprint.
Harvey continues to ramp up its land grab playbook.
DLA Piper has scaled its Harvey deployment to 5,000 licences worldwide, making it one of the largest law firm rollouts on the platform.
The expansion follows an extensive pilot phase that tested use cases across multiple practices and workflows. Harvey now sits alongside Microsoft Copilot as a core part of DLA Piper's AI toolkit.
The global powerhouse now joins major players such as A&O Shearman, Ashurst, HSF Kramer, Mallesons, Corrs and G+T.
The backdrop
The rollout comes as Harvey, now valued at $8bn after raising $1bn from the likes of Sequoia Capital, A16z and OpenAI, makes a series of aggressive plays to cement its grip on the legal AI market.
The company is even writing $2m cheques to invest in early-stage legal-tech startups off the back of a partnership with Zach Posner's The LegalTech Fund.
Harvey CEO Winston Weinberg said the $1 trillion legal market is too big and too fragmented for one company to sweep. “Everything can get disrupted,” he said.
Harvey will also open a Singapore office in June, adding to its existing APAC bases in Sydney and Bengaluru.
What they said
Terry Fedigan, Head of Innovation at DLA Piper, said:
“The pilot results and the pull from the business were clear, so we decided to scale quickly with great support from the Harvey team.”
Harvey CEO Winston Weinberg said:
“DLA Piper has taken a thoughtful and strategic approach to AI adoption from day one. This has been a close collaboration focused on delivering meaningful impact for their lawyers and clients.”
