:Harvey: In Practice: How to Evaluate Your Arguments

In this episode of Harvey In Practice, see how to use Harvey as a second set of eyes on a complex filing.
Dec 22, 2025
Harvey Team

Harvey In Practice is our series where legal experts show real workflows in Harvey in action. In this episode, Ashleigh Whittaker, Australian Country Manager at Harvey and former Associate at Quinn Emmanuel, walks through using Harvey to review and strengthen complex filings like class action complaints.
When filing a complaint, precision matters. Even after multiple read-throughs, there’s always a lingering question: Did I miss anything? Traditionally, getting that assurance meant waiting on peer review or discovering issues too late in the process.
Harvey changes that. Upload your draft complaint and Harvey analyzes the filing and highlights potential issues that opposing counsel might target. You’ll get citation-backed suggestions to tighten reasoning, add specificity, and reinforce arguments with supporting material. You can even provide additional context, like discovery responses or motions, and iterate in real time.

Pressure-Testing Your Complaint in Harvey

Let’s walk through the example Ashleigh shares in the video, which is that you’re prepping to file a class action complaint. Upload your draft complaint and ask Harvey to analyze it for factual gaps, omissions, or weaknesses.
Harvey then returns targeted suggestions to improve the draft: add factual specificity, clarify reasoning in a few sections, and reinforce arguments with supporting material. Each suggestion is footnoted with citations pointing to the exact section of the draft it’s referring to. You can also upload discovery responses or motions for added context, or ask Harvey follow-up questions about its analysis.

This way, you can draft more efficiently and with greater confidence. By helping you surface potential weaknesses earlier and refine your arguments before filing, Harvey helps litigators better prepare to defend their work under pressure.

Want to file complaints with more confidence? Contact our team to see how Harvey can support your organization.

Harvey is now better at reading and understand tables in documents.

What's New

Harvey has significantly improved understanding of tables embedded in PDFs and Word documents. With this update, Harvey will be able to see both the structure and the content of tables, enabling more accurate, grounded, and contextually aligned responses.

Why It Matters

Improved parsing and interpretation should lead to more reliable outputs when tables are central to your query.

How to Use

No need to change your workflow—attach documents and ask questions as usual.

FAQs

• Q: What types of documents will benefit?
  Any document containing tables, including PDFs and Word files. This does not include spreadsheets such as excel or csv files.
• Q: How will this improve accuracy?
  By accessing both the layout and the contents of a table, the model can reason over information more precisely and produce responses that better reflect the document’s actual organization.

Harvey’s latest Knowledge and Workflows improvements make it easy to produce high-quality work with greater flexibility.

Legal work requires precision, and teams require tools that not only deliver on efficiency, but also deliver on quality. With Harvey’s latest enhancements across Knowledge and Workflows, teams can quickly create high-quality work with richer context and more flexible automation.

Tap Into 70+ New Local Data Sources

Teams like Barros & Errázuriz leverage local data sources to ensure insights are rooted in local context. To better help these teams, we’re continuously expanding the number of knowledge sources available. Harvey now has 200 data sources directly accessible in the platform so that lawyers can derive trusted, region-specific insights more easily. This quarter, we added legal data sources across 25+ jurisdictions, including new content in Australia, Egypt, Ukraine, and more.

We’ve also introduced Norwegian primary law content from Gyldendal Rettsdata to help teams research and cite relevant content directly in Harvey. With these additions, legal teams can more easily achieve high accuracy and quality across their work.

Extract Better Insights With More Powerful Querying

To help teams derive more nuanced insights, we’ve also introduced new features that improve querying across data and documents.

Users can now query the Ask LexisNexis® AI service directly alongside document uploads in Harvey, allowing for deeper context with prompts. For example, users can leverage Ask LexisNexis® for AI-assisted research on primary law based on specific filings like briefs or motions. This helps users save time and effectively synthesize information, all with authoritative citations to relevant LexisNexis® primary law content, including trusted Shepard’s® Citations information to validate cited authorities.

Additionally, we’ve introduced multi-source querying to help users glean insights across multiple files, vaults, and regional knowledge sources at once. Lawyers can gather broader insights in a single step, improving the quality of results.

Customize Workflows With Greater Flexibility

Teams like GSK Stockmann already use their own custom workflows to speed up routine tasks. To make similar workflows more context-aware and extend Harvey’s knowledge sources further, we’ve added support for additional embedded sources in Workflow Builder. This update ensures users can better address high-value use cases with custom workflows. Builders can attach regional knowledge sources, web search, and Vault files directly into prompt blocks, so that each workflow run is grounded in the right information.

Alongside these knowledge updates, we’ve added new Workflow Builder features that give teams more flexibility and control. For example, we’ve introduced support for optional steps, so that users can create more consistent workflow outputs. Teams can configure certain user actions, like a file upload or text input, as optional. When a user skips the step, Harvey defaults to a predesignated template, allowing them to save time and utilize a team-approved backup when running a workflow. This helps give users more flexibility as they design and run workflows, and ultimately helps standardize outputs across teams.

Additionally, we’ve introduced Improve Workflows to automatically optimize for performance, so users can save time on editing — and ultimately create more useful workflows. After making a draft workflow, users can ask Harvey to improve it based on best practices. Harvey will analyze the workflow structure, infer the intended result, and edit the workflow to optimize for performance and latency. This makes it easier for any user to get started with building custom workflows, without needing to spend significant time on troubleshooting.

These updates help bring greater control and functionality into custom workflow creation, so that lawyers can easily tailor workflows to fit their needs, share workflows across organizations, and standardize outputs effectively.

Expert-Quality Work, Now Easier Than Ever

With expanded data coverage, teams can quickly research and cite reputable sources. Workflow enhancements enable lawyers to automate work that’s rooted in relevant knowledge, as well as their own processes and expertise. Together, these improvements across the Harvey platform help legal teams produce higher quality work with ease.

Learn what’s new in this release, why it matters, and how to use Auto mode in Harvey for Word.

What’s New
Harvey for Word now includes Auto mode, a new option that automatically chooses the right action — Ask, Edit, or Draft — based on the user’s query.

Key capabilities
• Automatically classifies your request and routes it to the appropriate mode
• Reduces manual mode-switching during drafting and review
• Supports manual override at any time

Why It Matters
Auto mode simplifies decision-making when working with documents in Word.
You no longer need to determine whether your request is informational, editorial, or generative — Harvey analyzes the input and assigns the correct mode.
This helps teams:
• Move faster with fewer clicks
• Reduce uncertainty around when to use Ask vs. Edit vs. Draft
• Maintain editing precision by keeping override controls easily accessible

How to Use
Auto mode is enabled by default, and it appears in the mode selector at the top of the Harvey for Word sidebar.

FAQs
Q: Does Auto mode replace Ask, Edit, or Draft?
No. All modes remain available. Auto mode is an optional, streamlined entry point.

Q: Can I override Auto mode?
Yes. You can switch to another mode at any time and re-run your request.

Q: What if Auto mode picks the wrong mode?
Select the mode you prefer and run the same request again. This helps Harvey refine routing over time.

What's New

Gyldendal Rettsdata is available as a new Knowledge Source. This integration will enable you to query an expansive collection of Norwegian primary legal sources — including laws, regulations, preparatory works, and court decisions — directly within Harvey.

Why It Matters

This gives you seamless integration with other sources in Harvey for in-context legal research and drafting.

How to Use

Once enabled in your workspace, the steps to use Gyldendal Rettsdata are the same as selecting any source. You can review these steps in our Knowledge Sources Overview article.

FAQ

• Q: Who will have access to Rettsdata in Harvey?
  Any Harvey customer who holds a valid license agreement with Gyldendal Rettsdata can enable this source.

• Q: Will the integration include access to Rettsdata’s secondary content (commentary)?
  No. This integration covers only primary legal sources. Rettsdata’s secondary content is not currently available for AI platform integrations.

• Q: How does this integration improve legal research in Harvey?
  By providing direct access to Norway’s core legal sources within Harvey, you can conduct jurisdiction-specific legal analysis and drafting with confidence that all results are comprehensive, authoritative, and up-to-date —without switching tools or losing context.

In this episode of Harvey In Practice

In this episode of Harvey In Practice, see how to extract and compare key lease terms across multiple agreements in minutes.

Harvey Team

Harvey In Practice is our series where legal experts show real workflows in Harvey in action. This episode features Frances Wang, Lead Counsel at Harvey and former Commercial Counsel at Niantic and Corporate/M&A Associate at Linklaters. In the video, she shows how Harvey helps legal teams quickly surface critical terms from multiple lease agreements without hours of manual review.

For in-house legal teams, managing office leases across multiple jurisdictions means keeping track of renewal dates, rent escalations, termination rights, and other terms that directly impact budgets and operations. Surfacing those details, though, usually requires digging through dense agreements one at a time.

Harvey makes that process faster, more consistent, and easier to repeat. Upload your set of leases directly into Harvey and generate a detailed summary of the terms that matter most like base rent, extension options, and assignment rights. Harvey surfaces side-by-side summaries more quickly than manual review, so your team can keep the business moving.

Turning Complex Leases into Structured Insights

Upload your lease agreements and then prompt Harvey to summarize key terms across the set. In the example above, Frances uploads five leases and asks for a summary of: parties, effective date, base rent, any rent adjustments, term, extension options, use of premises, assignment rights, indemnity, and events of default.

Harvey reads all five lease agreements and organizes the answers into a structured table. You will see side-by-side summaries pulled directly from the contracts, and each extracted term is linked to the section of the lease it came from. This way, you are able to focus on analyzing and acting on the results rather than locating them manually. You can also export the table into Word or Excel for convenient sharing with stakeholders.

By reducing much of the manual contract review work and organizing results into structured analysis, Harvey helps in-house teams operate more proactively and efficiently.
