When
legal
research
giant
LexisNexis
and
legal
AI
giant
Harvey
announced
a
strategic
alliance
last
month,
legal
tech
commentator
Richard
Tromans
called
it
“possibly
the
most
important
legal
tech
move
in
a
decade.”
On
today’s
episode
of
LawNext,
we
go
deep
into
the
partnership
and
its
implications
with
Sean
Fitzpatrick,
CEO
of
LexisNexis
North
America,
UK
&
Ireland.
Through
the
partnership,
LexisNexis
will
integrate
its
primary
law
content,
Shepard’s
citations,
and
AI
technology
directly
into
Harvey’s
platform,
and
the
two
companies
will
jointly
develop
agentic
AI
workflows.
The
partnership
comes
on
the
heels
of
Harvey’s
remarkable
Series
E
funding
round,
raising
$300
million
at
a
$5
billion
valuation,
in
which
RELX,
LexisNexis’s
parent
company,
was
a
participating
investor.
So
what
drove
this
alliance?
In
his
interview
with
host
Bob
Ambrogi,
Fitzpatrick
reveals
it
wasn’t
a
boardroom
strategy
session
that
sparked
this
partnership,
but
rather
customer
demand
from
large
law
firms
seeking
the
combined
power
of
LexisNexis’s
authoritative
legal
content
and
Harvey’s
AI
capabilities.
Fitzpatrick
talks
about
what
this
means
for
the
future
of
legal
AI,
how
it
addresses
the
persistent
challenge
of
hallucinations
in
AI-generated
legal
content,
and
whether
we’re
witnessing
the
emergence
of
a
new
model
for
legal
tech
partnerships.
He
also
shares
insights
from
recent
ROI
studies
showing
dramatic
productivity
gains
for
both
law
firms
and
corporate
legal
departments
using
AI
tools.
