Macpherson Kelley Deploys Harvey

Harvey is expanding its legal AI deployment across Macpherson Kelley after the Australian firm spent a year testing the platform and competing products. The rollout covers the firm’s lawyers and eight practice groups, extending beyond the initial pilot into broader legal work. Macpherson Kelley, which has operated for 121 years, is using the decision to formalize AI adoption across its practice rather than limit it to isolated teams.

The move highlights a shift in how law firms are assessing legal technology. Instead of treating generative AI as a narrow research or drafting tool, firms are increasingly evaluating whether a platform can support multiple workflows and sustain adoption across an organization. Harvey’s approach at Macpherson Kelley combined software access with work from customer success and legal engineering personnel, who collaborated with lawyers in Australia to identify use cases and develop practice-specific workflows. That implementation model appears to have been central to the firm’s selection process.
