Harvey automates legal document review and workflows for major law firms and enterprises

Harvey, a legaltech startup, has secured a $150 million Azure Commitment over two years to expand its AI-powered legal agents platform. Harvey builds chatbots and workflow automation tools tailored for legal and professional services, automating sensitive document review, interactions, and secure file access. The platform is deployed on Microsoft Azure, integrates with Microsoft Word (via a plug-in for lawyers), and offers SharePoint integration, allowing legal teams to securely manage and process legal documents. High-profile clients include Comcast and Verizon, as well as large law firms. Harvey has trusted Microsoft's infra and OpenAI models (hosted on Azure) to address stringent privacy and compliance concerns within the legal sector. The company started with Azure and recently included Google and Anthropic models but maintains Azure as a core part of its technology stack. This significant cloud investment reflects Harvey's rapid growth and the criticality of secure workflow and document automation in the legal industry.
