Harvey

What is Harvey?

Harvey is one platform made up of modules, among them Agents, which Harvey says run complex legal work end to end; Vault, for storing and bulk-analysing documents; and Knowledge, for legal, regulatory and tax research. An assistant handles questions and drafting.^10,16–19 It can be used in Microsoft Word and Outlook and integrates with document management systems such as iManage, NetDocuments and SharePoint.^10,11,19

Harvey is sold through its sales team.²⁹ For a buyer in Finland, the main questions are which national legal sources it covers, which languages it works in and where client data is processed.

What can Harvey do?

Vault review tables extract and compare data points across thousands of documents, and Contract Intelligence reviews contracts against the team’s own standards and compares live negotiations with terms accepted in past deals.^18,23 Harvey says its agents show their plan for approval before they run, back every claim with a citation and log every step.¹⁶ Horizon Scanning tracks regulatory change, but the platform page does not say which jurisdictions it covers.¹⁰ Harvey uses models from several providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic and Mistral AI, and users can choose a model for complex matters.^13,27 EU-hosted deployments use a separate API endpoint, and a hosted MCP server lets clients such as Claude or Microsoft 365 Copilot query Harvey, though the MCP guide names no EU endpoint.^14,15 Users can set the interface and response language: Harvey has named French for both, and English (UK), German, Italian and Portuguese for responses, but not Finnish.^12,27 Its translation workflow uses DeepL by default, but the supported language pairs are not stated.²⁶

Does Harvey cover Finnish and EU law?

For legislation and case law, yes: Harvey’s source list names Finnish legislation and case law from Finlex and Court of Justice case law from Curia, and its Knowledge page lists EUR-Lex for EU law. It does not say which Finnish courts are covered.^19,30 The gap is preparatory works: the pages we checked mention no Finnish government proposals.^{19,20,30–34} The publishers in Harvey’s help centre include Lovdata and Gyldendal Rettsdata for Norway, FromCounsel for the UK and Otto Schmidt for German law, but no Finnish publisher.³²

The public source list dates from September 2025. Since then, a December 2025 newsletter listed oikeus.fi as a new source for Finland without saying which of its content is covered, and a January 2026 newsletter announced new sources for countries including Finland without naming them.^20,30,33 The help centre’s detailed source overview needs a login^{19,20,30–34}, so ask Harvey for it; unless it shows otherwise, expect to need another source for Finnish preparatory works and commentary.

How does Harvey handle your data?

Harvey runs on Microsoft Azure and lets customers keep data in the EU or Switzerland, the US or Australia; contractually, customer data is stored in the region named on the order form.^25,37 But web browsing and knowledge-source subprocessors, Ask LexisNexis and opt-in Covered AI Services may process data outside that region, and the subprocessor list gives only US locations for Anthropic and LexisNexis.^13,36 A firm that needs every request handled in the EU should ask how Anthropic models are routed and which of these features it can switch off.

Harvey’s Data Processing Addendum (DPA) is public and allows audits where data protection law requires them. Unless the parties agree to keep personal data only elsewhere, it allows transfers to Harvey in the US, for which Harvey says it is self-certified under the Data Privacy Framework and its transfer terms apply the EEA standard contractual clauses.^38,41 The Platform Agreement names Harvey AI Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its affiliates, and no EU entity.¹

Harvey’s Platform Agreement says it will not train AI models on customer content or customer data, though it may use usage data to develop and improve the service.¹ Harvey says it requires zero data retention from model providers, but its service terms say workspace retention settings do not apply to certain features and that subprocessors of opt-in Covered AI Services may retain data.^25,36 It lists SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001, 27701 and 42001, SAML single sign-on, SCIM provisioning and tamper-protected audit logs, and commits to report security incidents within 48 hours of becoming aware of them.^25,37,39,40 The points to raise in a vendor assessment are where each request is processed, whether personal data may go to the US and which entity you contract with.

How much does Harvey cost?

Harvey’s sales page offers a demo and shows no prices or plans²⁹; the plan note below explains how fees are set. What is known of the price comes from third-party reports, and they differ: a Harvey spokesperson told Fast Company in 2025 that it costs a few hundred US dollars per seat per month, while the research firm Sacra gives a base price of about USD 1,200 per lawyer per month. Harvey’s COO has said that customers who ask can pay by consumption instead of per seat.^46–48 The plan table lists each report with its source, so treat these as a guide to the scale of a quote, not as Harvey’s prices. The developer docs refer to the order form for which features an organisation may use¹⁴, so check which modules and API access a quote includes.

Free trials run as authorised trials under Harvey’s evaluation terms, which leave out features such as custom workflows, third-party integrations and certain research modules²⁸, so a trial may not show Harvey working with your document management system.

Who makes Harvey?

Harvey is made by Harvey AI Corporation¹, based in San Francisco, United States². The company was created in 2022 and changed its legal name from Counsel AI Corporation in 2025.² Its investors include Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins and Lightspeed, and its round announced in September 2026 raised USD 550 million at a USD 15.5 billion valuation.^3,4

Who uses Harvey?

In Finland, Castrén & Snellman announced in February 2025 that it would continue with Harvey after a pilot, without giving user numbers or scope.⁴² Named customers also include Thommessen in Norway, Kromann Reumert and Bruun & Hjejle in Denmark, and law firms and companies elsewhere in the EU, such as Gleiss Lutz, Cuatrecasas and Deutsche Telekom.^43–45

These are announcements by Harvey or its customers, not independent assessments.
