The global law firm explained that this strategic partnership marks a “significant step” in its dedication to “leveraging emerging technology to deliver exceptional legal services for clients”.

The deployment of this AI tool represents merely “the beginning” of KWM’s broader vision to boost its collaboration efforts, paving the way for new opportunities “for client collaborations and co-development”, according to the firm.

A “comprehensive experiment” involving approximately 200 lawyers from various practice areas was conducted using Harvey before it was rolled out across KWM’s offices.

“[It] uncovered hundreds of successful use cases to automate and enhance legal workflows and tasks with Harvey to gain insights across vast document sets at scale,” the firm said.

This announcement follows Gilbert + Tobin partnering with Harvey in February 2025, big four firm PwC rolling it out in March 2023, and a similar implementation by global law firm Allen & Overy in the preceding month.

Renae Lattey, chief executive partner at KWM Australia, explained that the firm’s decision to embrace this new AI technology was an integral step in its “digital transformation journey”.

“Over the past 18 months, our people across Australia and Singapore have been experimenting with a number of generative AI products and learning about the responsible use of AI, its risks, opportunities and practical legal applications,” Lattey said.

“The launch of Harvey presents a new opportunity to embed these skills and knowledge and take our AI capabilities to the next level.”

Lattey also expressed the firm’s enthusiasm for implementing Harvey, stating that this technology will enable the firm to provide “smarter and higher-value solutions to our clients”.

Winston Weinberg, the chief executive of Harvey, said that KWM’s rollout of Harvey reflects the firm’s “leadership and strategy that they have made responsible AI usage such a pivotal part of their model moving forward”.

“We look forward to empowering KWM’s 1,200+ lawyers across Australia and Singapore to achieve new levels of innovation,” Weinberg said.
