Addleshaw Goddard will give Harvey to more than 3,400 staff, while Fieldfisher picks Legora for its 1,400 lawyers and staff after a six-week pilot.
Addleshaw Goddard has chosen Harvey and Fieldfisher has chosen Legora, in the latest platform decisions by large law firms. Addleshaw's partnership gives more than 3,400 lawyers and staff across its offices in Europe, the Middle East and Asia access to Harvey, according to Legal Cheek. Artificial Lawyer reports the deployment is firmwide and includes all staff and business services.
Addleshaw also plans to work with Harvey to develop new AI-enabled services. Managing partner Andrew Johnston said: "This is a unique partnership with Harvey to co-develop legal AI solutions, and the most significant technology transformation in AG's long history as an innovator." Kerry Westland, Partner and Head of the Innovation Group, told Artificial Lawyer the firm will work directly with Harvey's product development teams, with features for large-scale projects and matter orchestration a focus. She noted that Harvey's 'matter spaces' capability was a key reason for the deal, and added that the firm will not use Harvey and Legora at the same time. Its internally developed AGPT will continue but may be used more for testing.
Fieldfisher's agreement brings Legora to its 1,400 lawyers and business service professionals across all offices, according to Legal Cheek. Artificial Lawyer reports the firm chose Legora after a six-week pilot in which 137 users in its UK and wider European offices used the platform in their day-to-day work. The rollout will be led by the firm's AI hub at Fieldfisher X in Berlin, working with its AI Board, practice groups and local offices. Fieldfisher said it will continue to invest in its own AI capabilities, including reusable prompts, playbooks, workflows, governance assets and client-facing legal products.
Legal Cheek notes Harvey agreements are already in place at A&O Shearman and Slaughter and May, Legora is integrated into Linklaters, and Freshfields has partnered with Anthropic. Hogan Lovells Cadwalader has teamed up with both Harvey and Legora, arguing that "no single AI solution" can cover the bases of a modern international law firm.
