PwC has partnered with AI start-up Harvey to give its legal business professionals exclusive access to the platform.

“Harvey will transform the way we provide legal solutions for clients across the globe,” said Mr O’Malley.
“The Harvey platform provides a generational-leap forward for our legal professionals in terms of insights, research and analysis.”
“Combining our deep expertise with cutting-edge AI technology heralds a paradigm shift in the way that we solve complex problems for our clients.”
PwC said Harvey was backed by the OpenAI start-up fund and was built on the same OpenAI and Chat GPT technology that has taken the world by storm.

The platform uses natural language processing, machine learning and data analytics to automate and enhance aspects of legal work, the firm said.
It claimed Harvey will help generate insights and recommendations based on large volumes of data to deliver greater information that would enable PwC experts to identify possible legal business strategies faster.
Harvey co-founder and CEO Gabriel Pereyra said the partnership with PwC would improve the capability of its AI.
“Working with PwC provides a unique opportunity to further enhance AI’s potential to solve the most complex legal problems,” said Mr Pereyra.
“The scope of PwC’s capabilities enables us to collaborate on AI systems that expand on Harvey’s core legal use cases to provide more comprehensive solutions for PwC and their clients.”
The firm stressed that all outputs would be overseen and reviewed by its professionals and that Harvey would not be used to provide legal advice to clients or replace lawyers.
PwC UK global leader of technology Sandeep Agrawal said the firm’s use of Harvey would free up time for their professionals globally.
“With the use of Harvey, our legal business solutions professionals will be at the forefront of industry developments, catalysing their ability to deliver comprehensive, cost-efficient and market-relevant solutions to our clients,” he said.
“Integrating Harvey into our day to day activities will free-up much needed time and resources allowing our people to focus more on innovation and value accretive tasks.”
