Questions we see about Harvey

What is Harvey?

A legal AI platform: it drafts and reviews documents, answers research questions against legal material, and analyses case files, aimed at firms and in-house teams.

Who is it for?

Legal professionals with high document volume who need a first draft or a summary rather than a final work product.

Is Harvey free?

No. It is an enterprise platform priced by agreement, typically per seat, so the cost appears in a quote rather than a rate card.

Can a lawyer rely on the output?

Not without checking it. Generated legal text can cite a case that does not say what it claims, and the professional obligation sits with the lawyer who signs the document, not with the tool.

Use cases

Drafting the first pass

Starting from a structured draft that you then correct is faster than a blank page, provided the review is real.

Summarising a document set

Getting the shape of a case file or a contract before reading it closely is a genuine time saving.

Researching a question

Finding the relevant authorities with a starting summary shortens the search, and the citations still need reading.

Pricing

Harvey is a paid service, recorded at 4.5 in our listing. An enterprise platform priced by agreement, usually per seat, so cost appears in a quote. Firms measure it against billable hours on drafting and first-pass review. Details are on the vendor site. Confirm pricing directly with the Harvey site.

Alternatives

  • Kira — Provision extraction at volume rather than drafting and research.
  • Ironclad AI — Contract workflow and storage with AI review inside it.
  • A general assistant with legal documents — Cheaper and without the domain tooling or the controls.

Decisions to make up front

Verify every citation

Fabricated or misread authority is the known failure mode of legal AI, and it is the one that carries professional risk.

Agree the review standard

Say what a reviewer must check on generated text and record it, so the standard does not depend on who is reviewing.
