Harvey is an AI platform reserved for law firms and in-house legal teams. It is a professional tool: you ask it legal questions, hand it thousands of documents to analyze, and have it prepare draft contracts or memos, with references to the sources. It is bought for a whole organization, not for personal use.
Harvey has no free plan. The recommended plan to start with: Organization contract, custom pricing. Prices checked on October 3, 2026 on the vendor’s official page.
HarveyThe assistant for law firms and in-house legal teamsWho it’s for: lawyers and in-house counsel whose organization has a Harvey contract, especially in large organizations and on international matters.
You ask a question or request a text, with or without attached documents. For a question, Harvey answers in the conversation with references to the sources. For a text to draft, it opens an editor alongside, where you revise the draft.
You store all the documents for a matter in a secure space, then query the whole set at once. A space accepts up to 100,000 files. It can be filled from iManage, SharePoint, or Google Drive.
Harvey reads each document in a batch and fills in a table: one row per document, one column per point to capture. You then ask the table itself questions to summarize or single out a case.
Also
Harvey publishes no prices on its website. There is no free plan and no self-serve trial.

Harvey is not for personal purchase: the decision belongs to the firm or the legal department. If your organization already has it, ask for access. Otherwise, for an occasional need in French law, a French legal research tool or a well-supervised general-purpose assistant is often enough.
