Harvey

The people I'm working with are at big AMLO 100 firms and now are at Pearson Ferdinand doing high quality work that's supported through tech.

We use Harvey AI, which has been I didn't have that tool at my last firm.

And it has been It's the best associate I've ever worked with, including myself when I was an associate.

It's not perfect.

I looked up the date for GPT 3.5, November 30th, 2022.

Harvey's Series A, which is really sort of when they, you know, that's when they really raised the money and started really landing serious accounts, landing law firm accounts.

That was only like four months later, April 2023.

April 2023, Harvey had their Series A.

And then GPT last day, GPT-4.

which launched and they also, that was when it scored in the 90th percentile on our uniform, our exam, was March, 2023.

I don't, I can't remember.

I can, I should have, I could probably look it up.

someone else who does.

And Microsoft obviously doesn't want you doing that for a lot of reasons because, like we were having the Harvey AI discussion the other week, I mean, that's a competitor to what teams could arguably do for a law firm, you know, is the way I would describe it.

So the more a company moves its workflows out of Microsoft, the bigger a risk it is to them strategically, I think.

Yeah.

They're starting to point AI at legal.

Actually, they did point AI at legal before with some of this Harvey AI stuff.

Now, once the AI get pretty capable or more capable, they're going to start pointing at more and more things because the digital copy of this thing is genuinely easier to attain, right? You know, some of the per token cost is just astronomically low.

It only gets high in prices if...

The future of AI adoption may ultimately be measured in completed work, not benchmark scores.

Looking at legal tech news, Harvey raises $550 million at a $15.5 billion valuation.

Harvey announced a massive funding round valuing the company at approximately $15.5 billion with a B. while also expanding its legal AI capabilities through acquisitions and product development.

The raise further strengthens Harvey's position as one of the legal AI market's dominant players.

Investor confidence in legal AI remains exceptionally strong, particularly for vendors demonstrating enterprise adoption and workflow integration.

The legal AI market's beginning to produce category-defining companies.

Organizations are no longer asking whether AI can perform sophisticated work.

They're asking how to control it, govern it, secure it, and integrate it responsibly into existing systems.
