National firm Maddocks has further embedded AI into its daily workflows with the enterprise-wide rollout of Harvey.
The rollout has provided access for all lawyers and legal support staff to drive consistent, high-quality outcomes for clients.
The move follows Maddocks’ successful enterprise-wide rollout of Microsoft Copilot, which supported general productivity.
David Newman, Maddocks CEO, said its Harvey rollout was part of the firm’s ongoing AI strategy.
“The success of the pilot reflects the deliberate and strategic groundwork we put in place to prepare our people, with our lawyers using other AI tools to assist in delivering high-quality outcomes for clients,” Newman said.
“We enjoyed working with the Harvey team and look forward to building a great relationship over the coming years.”
The pilot, which ran across 13 practice areas, demonstrated high engagement, with 70 per cent running queries daily, 88 per cent returning week after week, and strong partner-led adoption, as all partners across the participating teams actively engaged with Harvey.
Harvey will be integrated into legal workflows to accelerate document review, due diligence, and drafting.
It will allow lawyers to focus on higher-value strategic advice while maintaining rigorous professional oversight and responsible AI use.
Ashleigh Whittaker, Australian country manager and head of GTM, ANZ, at Harvey, said: “Maddocks had one of the highest engagement scores we have seen in our Australian law firms’ trials.
“The level of engagement we saw throughout the pilot reflected both the firm’s commitment to innovation and the enthusiasm lawyers had for Harvey.
“Adoption quickly gained momentum across the practice groups, creating a strong foundation for this enterprise-wide rollout.
“We’re excited to drive the next phase of adoption and help embed Harvey across the firm.”
