As use of artificial intelligence increasingly becomes foundational for lawyers’ daily operations and processes, FY2026–27 presents a “fantastic opportunity” to deliver legal services in exciting and innovative ways.
In this episode of LawTech Talks, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Harvey’s country manager in Australia and New Zealand, Ashleigh Whittaker, about what we learnt about AI adoption in law in FY2025–26, what it means for the new financial year, whether the 2026 calendar year is living up to predictions about being the year of agents, why AI use is more foundational than experimentational at this point, current market sentiment, the capabilities being built by Harvey for in-house teams, ensuring optimal ROI, and predictions for FY26–27.
