Harvey

Overview

Harvey is a legal AI platform for firms and in-house teams whose work spans research, drafting, document analysis, and repeatable workflows. Its breadth is a strong fit for organizations with substantial legal workloads; teams that need a clearly priced, self-serve tool may prefer an alternative.

Key features

Harvey’s Assistant can answer questions, analyze documents, and draft or edit content, with links to the sources behind its answers. That source trail is valuable when lawyers need to check an output rather than rely on it at face value. Research covers legal, regulatory, and tax questions and draws on more than 500 regional knowledge sources.

Agents can plan and carry out complex legal work, while teams can use prepared workflows or build their own. This combination can support both common processes and work tailored to a particular organization, though it is most compelling for teams with enough recurring work to justify configuring workflows.

Vault organizes legal documents and supports bulk analysis across thousands of files, making it suited to large document sets. Matter workspaces, legal source access, document analysis, citations, and drafting tools round out its general legal offering.

Integrations include Microsoft Word, Outlook, iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint, Google Drive, Aderant, Ironclad, email, and APIs. Native iOS and Android apps support queries, document scanning, call transcription, Vault access, and synced history. The range suits teams that work across existing systems and on mobile, rather than those seeking a narrowly focused research tool.

Pricing

Harvey is paid, with custom pricing. The Harvey plan requires a demo request; without a published price or seat and usage terms, prospective buyers should expect to discuss fit and cost directly before comparing budgets. There is no lower-cost plan or free-plan cap to weigh against the full offering.

That sales-led approach may suit organizations evaluating a platform across legal teams, but it is a drawback for individuals or smaller practices that want to compare fixed monthly costs before engaging.

Platforms

Harvey supports Android, iOS, web, API access, and an extension. Its native mobile apps add document scanning and call transcription alongside queries and access to Vault and synced history, while API and extension access can accommodate work beyond the browser.

Who it's for

Harvey is aimed at law firms, in-house legal departments, and legal and professional services organizations. It is best suited to teams that need several capabilities in one environment, especially research alongside document-heavy work and workflow automation. A buyer looking only for a simple, individually priced assistant may find its custom-pricing model and broad scope excessive.

Security controls include SAML single sign-on, audit logs, IP allow-listing, data lifecycle management, and 24/7 monitoring. Harvey says customer inputs, outputs, and uploaded documents are not used to train underlying models by default, and customers can keep data in the EU or Switzerland, the US, or Australia. Its security page lists SOC 2 II, CCPA, GDPR, AIUC-1, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 42001. These controls and residency options are relevant for organizations with formal security and regional data requirements.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Legal research, source-linked answers, drafting, document analysis, and workflows sit in one platform, reducing the need to split those tasks across separate tools.
• Pros: Vault supports bulk analysis across thousands of documents, a practical strength for teams dealing with large collections.
• Pros: Broad integrations, mobile apps, regional data residency options, and listed security controls make it adaptable to organizational environments.
• Cons: Custom pricing requires a direct sales conversation, making early budget comparisons harder.
• Cons: Its wide feature set may be more than a solo practitioner or team with a single, narrow legal task needs.

Verdict

Harvey is a strong choice for law firms and in-house teams that want research, source-linked assistance, document work, and configurable workflows alongside broad integrations and organizational security controls. Its clearest drawback is the custom-pricing commitment: look elsewhere if a fixed price or a lightweight tool for one task matters more than a comprehensive platform.
