What it does

Harvey is an AI tool built only for legal work. Law firms and in-house legal teams use it to research case law, review contracts, and analyze large sets of documents. A feature called Vault handles bulk document review for due diligence, and agents can run multi-step legal tasks on their own, like drafting a first contract redline. Teams sign in with single sign-on and get audit logs and role-based access. It is made by Harvey AI, connects with document systems like iManage and NetDocuments, holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001 certifications, and states it does not train its models on customer data.

Where it can help

This fits a legal team that already handles heavy contract review or litigation research; large law firms and corporate legal departments are the main users today. A good starting point is a pilot in one practice group, such as M&A or litigation, on the Vault or Contract Intelligence feature. Pricing is not public; planning estimates from legal-tech writers put enterprise deals well above $100,000 a year, with per-seat costs dropping at large scale, so treat any number as a rough estimate and ask Harvey for a live quote based on seat count and use case. The main risk is trust in AI output, since reviewers note Harvey can miss legal nuance, so staff must check citations and analysis before using them with a client; cost and contract complexity can also be a barrier for a smaller legal team.

How the number is calculated

The score converts the baseline ELO rating onto the TriVista scale. The headline badge rounds to a whole number. Scores are not silently clipped or capped.

TriVista Score = 50 + (ELO − 1350) / 6

Before you choose
  • Customer feedback is not yet strong enough to change the starting rating.
  • The starting rating includes a product-specific comparison.
  • Check the current price before you decide.
  • We recorded rollout time, how it runs, and when it does not fit.
How company details affect the score

The model adjusts the starting rating using the company details you select. Use these estimates to prioritize your review, then test the tool against your own requirements.

Required controls

Security and safe use

Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.

Exit and rollback

Export executed documents, matter links, clause libraries, playbooks, redlines, obligations, approvals, citations, review history, and audit evidence from Harvey. Keep authoritative source records in Microsoft 365. Preserve privilege and document-to-metadata relationships during export; trained review behavior may not transfer, so validate active matters and obligation continuity before cutover.

Recommended next step

Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
