Overview / Description
Harvey is a high-end legal AI platform whose agents are designed to execute legal work end to end. Its products span an Assistant for questions, document analysis and drafting; Vault for secure document storage and bulk analysis; Knowledge for complex legal, regulatory and tax research; and Workflow Agents that run pre-built or custom processes tailored to a firm. Harvey was built first for leading law firms and corporate legal departments, and its pricing reflects that origin. It has since introduced a tier aimed at boutiques, so smaller, specialized firms do adopt it — but for most solo and small practices, Harvey's cost places it out of practical reach. It belongs on a shortlist when a small but sophisticated firm needs the most capable available legal AI and can support the investment.
