As LexisNexis deepens its investment in innovative legal technology, our strategic alliance with Harvey has sparked plenty of thoughtful questions from our customers. Below, I’m pleased to address some of the most common topics raised, detailing what this collaboration means for the future of legal AI.
Summary
We are always seeking ways to enhance how we serve our customers. Harvey has gained impressive traction in the market, and we saw a natural fit between our organizations. Harvey’s strength in building agentic legal workflows is the perfect complement to the LexisNexis® AI-powered legal research infrastructure and trusted content. Harvey chose to collaborate with LexisNexis because of our:
LexisNexis and Harvey are united by a shared vision of delivering access to powerful, reliable legal AI wherever professionals choose to work.
This collaboration represents a pivotal leap forward for legal AI. By bringing together our Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) infrastructure and authoritative legal content through Harvey, we’re redefining LexisNexis, not just as a leading technology provider to our own customers, but also as an AI engine powering legal workflows in other legal AI tools via API.
Three modules will be available within the Harvey platform:
“Ask LexisNexis” is embedded in the Harvey platform, allowing users to initiate legal research queries within Harvey and receive authoritative, hyperlinked answers sourced from LexisNexis content. For existing LexisNexis users, this alliance enhances value by embedding our content and technology in additional legal workflow tools they may already be using.
Customers with a LexisNexis subscription will be able to continue their research in the Lexis+® or Lexis+ AI® platform, enabling access to broader content sets (e.g., secondary sources, Practical Guidance, news, analytics, etc.) and advanced AI capabilities which are not integrated into Harvey.
Dual subscribers to LexisNexis and Harvey benefit from a uniquely powerful experience: the speed of Harvey’s platform, enhanced by LexisNexis AI capabilities and backed by the depth, breadth, and authority of our legal research ecosystem. Rather than choosing between capabilities, legal professionals unlock the best of both, seamlessly integrated and optimized for how they work.
Privacy and security are non-negotiable. As AI technologies evolve at an unprecedented pace, LexisNexis remains unwavering in our commitment to privacy, data security, and ethical AI practices.
Harvey, for instance, does not use any client or firm data to train its models, eliminating the risk of confidential information being exposed or incorporated into future AI outputs. LexisNexis adheres rigorously to the RELX Responsible AI Principles which emphasize transparency and accountability. Together, we not only protect client interests but also foster innovation that is both safe and transformative.
Whether you’re defending a claim, reviewing an indemnity clause, or responding to client pressure with clarity and speed, LexisNexis is embedded where legal work happens. This alliance enables legal professionals to move seamlessly between the tools they rely on every day.
As noted by the Artificial Lawyer: “In what is possibly the most important legal tech move in a decade, LexisNexis – one of the largest legal data providers in the world – is forming a ‘strategic alliance’ with genAI pioneer Harvey.”
LexisNexis is evolving into the data backbone for AI-powered legal workflows. Our work with Harvey means we’re not just keeping up with the moment, we’re actively shaping the future of legal work in a secure and responsible way.
