HEUKING Extends Harvey AI Access to All Staff Groups in Firmwide Rollout

The expansion, formalized in June 2026, breaks from the lawyer-centric deployment model that has defined most early legal AI rollouts and signals a maturing approach to embedding AI into end-to-end matter workflows.

The move comes as Harvey consolidates its position in the European legal technology market, with the DACH region emerging as a particularly active theater for generative AI adoption among mid-tier and large firms. HEUKING began its Harvey deployment in July 2024 with approximately 50 pilot users, a group that generated enough internal demand to create a waiting list before the firm opened access to its full legal team by autumn of that year. The decision to push access further, to non-lawyer staff, reflects a structural insight: legal work is collaborative by nature, and AI tools confined to attorneys alone create friction at every handoff point in a matter's lifecycle.
