Aderant and Harvey Announce Market Defining Partnership Connecting Industry Leading Business-of-Law Solutions with AI-Powered Legal Work

Key Terms

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.

contract analysis technical

Contract analysis is the careful review of written agreements to identify obligations, rights, deadlines, payment terms, penalties, and conditions that could affect value or risk. For investors, it reveals hidden costs, cash-flow impacts, termination or change clauses, and compliance risks — like reading a house blueprint or the fine print of a warranty before buying — so they can assess how a contract might help or hurt a company’s future finances.

due diligence technical

Due diligence is the careful investigation and analysis someone conducts before making a decision, such as investing money or entering into an agreement. It’s like researching thoroughly before buying a used car to ensure it’s in good condition; this helps prevent surprises and makes informed choices. For investors, due diligence reduces risk by verifying details and understanding what they’re getting into.

litigation technical

Litigation is the formal process of resolving disputes through the court system, where one party sues another and a judge or jury decides the outcome. For investors it matters because lawsuits can lead to large fines, settlement costs, injunctions or changes in business operations that reduce profits or create uncertainty—like a costly, public argument that can divert management time, drain cash and change the company’s future prospects.

ecosystem technical

An ecosystem is the network of companies, customers, suppliers, partners, technologies and services that interact around a product, platform or market — like a neighborhood of businesses and users that rely on one another. For investors it matters because a strong ecosystem can multiply revenue streams, make a product harder to displace, and spread risk across multiple participants, while a weak or shrinking ecosystem can limit growth and increase vulnerability.

billing financial

Billing is the process of creating and sending a formal charge for goods or services to a customer or payer, such as an individual, insurer, or company. It matters to investors because billed amounts represent the company's claimed sales and set expectations for future cash collection and revenue reporting—like sending a restaurant receipt that promises payment later—and discrepancies between billed and actually received money can signal cash-flow or accounting issues.

Deep integration bridges the gap between operational teams and legal practitioners, unifying the business and practice of law through AI-driven intelligence.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Aderant, the global leader in business-of-law solutions, today announced a strategic, market-defining partnership with Harvey, the leading generative AI platform for legal professionals. Together, the companies will deliver the industry’s first deeply connected ecosystem that unites AI-powered legal work with work-to-cash operations — bringing unprecedented transparency, accuracy, and productivity to both the front and back office.

Harvey is domain-specific AI for legal and professional services. Our products streamline workflows in areas including contract analysis, due diligence, compliance, and litigation to drive efficiency and value. Global law firms and Fortune 500 enterprises around the world use Harvey to enable faster, smarter decision-making. Backed by world-class investors including Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, GV, OpenAI Startup Fund, Coatue, Andreessen Horowitz, and EQT, Harvey is used by 700+ customers in 58+ countries.

This partnership marks a milestone in how law firms operate, connecting the work fee earners deliver with the business intelligence administrators’ need to drive firm success. Through this streamlined integration, Aderant-powered business financial management and work-to-cash solutions receive enriched insights into the work performed in Harvey – from drafting and research to review and analysis, while Harvey, in turn, gains deep context back from a law firm’s Aderant solutions.

“This integration represents a significant step forward in how legal professionals manage both the practice and business of law,” said Chris Cartrett, President & CEO of Aderant. “Harvey is redefining how lawyers work. By connecting that intelligence directly into Aderant, we’re giving firms the ability to track, manage, and measure that work with the transparency and precision law firms have always needed.”

While point-to-point integrations are common in legal technology, the Aderant–Harvey partnership is the first to offer a deeply connected AI-to-business-of-law workflow that spans the full lifecycle of legal work — from initial drafting to time entry, matter context, billing insights, and profitability management.

“The future of legal technology is about making existing systems work together intelligently,” said Winston Weinberg, CEO of Harvey. “By integrating directly with Aderant, we’re bridging the gap between how lawyers practice law and how firms run their business — something no one else in the industry has achieved.”

By aligning Harvey’s AI-powered legal workflows with Aderant’s trusted business-of-law solutions, firms gain a unified experience that benefits both sides of the house:

• Legal practitioners get a more fluid, informed way to work — with AI that understands the matters they support and helps them move faster with greater confidence.
• Administrative and operations teams benefit from increased clarity, improved accuracy, and a more complete picture of the work happening across the firm.

The result is a more connected firm — one where the practice and the business of law support each other seamlessly rather than operating in parallel.

“Our clients have made it clear that as AI reshapes legal work, the next step is connecting that work to the systems that run the firm. This partnership is the moment where that transformation becomes tangible,” added Cartrett.
