When Harvey launched in 2022 as an AI assistant for lawyers, the idea was simple. Let AI handle grunt work such as reviewing contracts, digging through documents or researching case law, so lawyers can focus on actual legal strategy.
By early 2024, Harvey was already embedded at major firms like Latham & Watkins and Duane Morris. Harvey says it's now used by more than half of the 100 largest law firms in the country. It's also expanded into in-house legal teams at Comcast, Carvana, Walmart and HSBC, and announced strategic partnerships with iManage, LexisNexis, Ironclad, Blue Owl, ElevenLabs, Harbor Global, Aderant, FromCounsel and SCC Online.
Investors have raised their bets on the company. In 2025, Harvey raised $760 million over three funding rounds in roughly six months. The company raised $300 million in a Series D ($3 billion valuation), $300 million in a Series E ($5 billion), and $160 million in a Series F ($8 billion valuation). In March of this year, Harvey became the latest AI startup to cross the $10 billion valuation mark, joining the ranks of fellow Disruptors OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity.
The company is using the funds to further develop its AI agents. Over the past year, the company released customizable workflows, integrated with legal-specific platforms like LexisNexis, and expanded support for multiple AI models.
The company hit $190 million in annual recurring revenue in January, up from a $100 million milestone it announced in August.
"I think any company right now, the worst mistake you can possibly do is become complacent, because how you build a company is completely changing," Harvey CEO Winston Weinberg told CNBC at the time of the revenue milestone. "The companies that succeed are going to be the ones that are relentlessly adapting."
Weinberg is a former lawyer who co-founded Harvey with Gabe Pereyra, a former research scientist at Google DeepMind and Meta. The pair named the company after a character on the legal drama show "Suits."
In addition to the rush of fundraising, Harvey has opened offices in Sydney, Toronto, Paris, Dublin, Madrid, Dallas and Munich, with more planned in Chicago and Singapore. It also launched a law school program with 37 institutions across the U.S., Europe, and Australia. On the staffing front, Harvey has added a chief business officer, chief technology officer, chief product officer, and vice president of EMEA sales.
Meanwhile, the market for AI legal tools is heating up, including internationally based and fellow 2026 Disruptor Legora entering the U.S. market. LawGeex, Everlaw, Kira Systems, and others are also building AI-powered solutions for specific legal tasks. Microsoft and Google are integrating AI into their broader enterprise platforms, which law firms already use.
