Harvey will support the delivery of the firm’s strategy by providing significant benefits to its legal teams and clients. An initial cohort of 350 lawyers will have access to Harvey with immediate effect, with full rollout across the International business commencing in May 2026. Keith Froud, Co-Global CEO and International CEO, Eversheds Sutherland comments: “Eversheds Sutherland was an early adopter of legal AI, having embedded it into various products over 10 years ago. When GenAI legal assistants were launched a few years ago, it was our view at that time that the technology had not yet reached the level of maturity required to deliver meaningful benefits. “Having completed a comprehensive trial of Harvey over the past few months, we are now confident that the time is right to make this significant investment across the International business to sit alongside our other legal tech tools. “Every client I speak to is talking about GenAI and how we can work together to harness the potential of the technology. 2026 will be the “Year of AI” for the firm, fully embedding it across all aspects of our client service offering, and we are excited by its potential and further developments, such as agentic AI, to drive further strategic growth.” Rachel Broquard, Service Excellence Partner, Eversheds Sutherland comments: “Our legal GenAI pilot phase, in partnership with Harvey and our 350+ lawyers and selected clients, produced clear benefits to help our people and technology to work together. This combined approach supported real time matter collaboration across multiple teams. We’ve been hugely impressed with the speed and effectiveness of the pilot’s outputs from Harvey which centred around workflow automation, contract review, legal drafting and data analysis. We look forward to embedding Harvey as an essential work tool for all our lawyers and trainees over the coming months.” Winston Weinberg, CEO of Harvey, comments: "Harvey is honoured to be part of Eversheds Sutherland’s investment in AI and the firm's 'Year of AI' initiative. We look forward to supporting their team on the International rollout and appreciate their thoughtful and forward-thinking approach to leveraging AI for impact."
