Slaughter and May is rolling out legal AI platform Harvey across the firm.
The win is a coup for Harvey’s European push, as it looks to grow market share with high-profile clients including Eversheds Sutherland and HSBC.
Slaughter and May has picked Harvey for a firmwide rollout.
The rollout will see the legal AI platform deployed across all practice areas, supporting lawyers on work including M&A, due diligence, regulatory research and document analysis.
Managing partner David Johnson said the firm’s adoption of Harvey would “enhance the excellent service” it provides to clients, adding that lawyers would remain “the vital human layer that supervises AI”.
Partner and innovation head Sally Wokes said the technology would help the firm apply its expertise more effectively across client matters, enhancing “judgment, creativity and problem solving”.
Harvey said it was selected for its capabilities and experience supporting AI adoption within major law firms, with its team set to work alongside Slaughters on the rollout.
Harvey’s European push
Landing one of Big Law’s most prestigious names as a customer is a significant coup for Harvey.
Now working with more than half of the top 100 law firms in the US, the startup has made Europe a key battleground, combining major customer wins with a broader push to raise its profile in the region, including a series of sports sponsorships with elite European teams.
Recent wins include Eversheds Sutherland, DLA Piper and HSBC.
Harvey was valued at $11 billion in its most recent funding round in March and has raised more than $1 billion since launching in 2022.
