Intapp to partner with Harvey bringing ethical wall enforcement directly into the platform

Key Terms

ethical wall regulatory

An ethical wall is an internal procedure that physically and electronically separates teams or information inside a firm so confidential or market-moving material isn’t shared where it could create a conflict of interest. Think of it as a soundproof door or digital firewall that prevents sensitive tips from leaking between departments. For investors, ethical walls help protect fair markets, reduce the risk of insider trading, and signal that a firm takes legal and reputational compliance seriously.

generative ai technical

Generative AI is a type of computer technology that can create new content, like text, images, or music, on its own. It’s important because it can produce realistic and useful material quickly, which could change how we create art, write stories, or even develop new products. Think of it as a smart robot that can invent and produce things almost like a human.

attorney-client privilege regulatory

A legal rule that keeps private the confidential communications between a client and their lawyer, so clients can speak openly without fear those conversations will be revealed. For investors, it matters because it can limit what information companies must disclose during lawsuits, regulatory probes or sales processes—think of it like a locked safe for sensitive advice that can affect a company’s legal risk, reputation and the value of its shares.

information governance regulatory

A set of policies, processes and tools that a company uses to collect, store, protect, organize and dispose of its information, including financial records, customer data and internal reports. It matters to investors because good information governance reduces legal and regulatory risk, prevents costly data breaches, keeps records accurate for decision-making, and helps the business run efficiently—much like a well-organized filing system that saves time and avoids costly mistakes.

New partnership to deliver AI productivity paired with regulatory trust –– protecting firms and their clients’ most sensitive data

PALO ALTO, Calif. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Leading AI solution providers Intapp (NASDAQ: INTA) and Harvey today announced their plans for a strategic partnership to bring industry-standard ethical wall enforcement directly into Harvey’s platform.

This partnership unites two complementary AI platforms: Harvey, a generative AI platform for legal professionals, and Intapp, which applies AI to the business of law. Together, the two companies address the central challenge facing every firm deploying AI at scale: ensuring that AI-generated work respects the same professional responsibility obligations that govern all other firm activity.

As firms increasingly use generative AI for drafting, research, and document analysis, a governance gap has emerged. Lawyers must maintain ethical walls between conflicting matters, preserve attorney-client privilege, prevent the commingling of confidential information across client engagements, and comply with regulatory frameworks that vary by jurisdiction and practice area.

However, governance protocols that respect these obligations have historically not extended into AI platforms and agents, leaving compliance dependent on users' self-policing and ad hoc audit logs. For many firms, this gap has been a governance challenge.

Under the partnership, Intapp Walls for AI, the legal industry’s most widely deployed ethical wall and information governance solution, will ensure that interactions within Harvey’s enterprise AI deployments respect compliance obligations. With the integration, existing Intapp Walls for AI policies will automatically sync with Harvey’s access and sharing controls across Assistant, Vault, and Workflows. Firms deploying Harvey with Intapp Walls can be confident that every AI interaction is permissioned, auditable, and compliant with applicable ethical walls and firm policies.

“When clients entrust their most sensitive business matters with their lawyers, they expect it to be treated with the highest standards of professional responsibility, including when using AI,” said John Hall, CEO, Intapp. “Together, Intapp and Harvey are enabling governed AI that protects client confidentiality and firm integrity today, while laying the foundation for future agentic workflows that operate within professional compliance boundaries by design.”

"Legal teams have spent years building rigorous professional responsibility standards in Intapp, and they need those standards to follow them into every tool they use," said Winston Weinberg, CEO of Harvey. "This partnership ensures that the same ethical walls that lawyers trust and rely on are enforced inside Harvey.”
