""A lot of the tasks junior [associates] do are going to get automated," Weinberg says. "That doesn't mean their job's going to get automated. It's just going to be a different job." Built atop language models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, Harvey's platform streamlines legal workflows by helping lawyers with drafting, contract analysis, legal research, due diligence, regulatory compliance, and case law review."
"Harvey, which is used by some 250 law firms-including 50% of The American Lawyer's list of biggest 100 firms in the U.S.-announced in June that it raised a $300 million series D led by Sequoia, bringing its total haul to more than $800 million and driving its valuation to $5 billion. It's now the highest valued startup in a growing field of AI companies that are all focused on overhauling how the legal profession works."
