Harvey AI case studies reveal 7-10 hours saved per lawyer weekly. Legal AI startup reportedly raising $200M at $11B valuation after hitting $190M ARR.
Harvey AI, the legal-focused artificial intelligence platform reportedly in talks to raise $200 million at an $11 billion valuation, published case studies showing mid-sized law firms are achieving measurable productivity gains of 35% or more using its software.
The company, which hit $190 million in annual recurring revenue by the end of 2025, detailed how four boutique firms and in-house legal teams are using its GPT-based platform to cut document review times from days to hours while handling more cases without adding headcount.
The Numbers Behind the Hype
Masin Projects, a construction and engineering disputes firm, reported a 35% increase in overall case capacity after deploying Harvey. Initial case reviews that previously took 7-10 days now complete in minutes or hours, according to CEO Rohit Singal. The firm estimates approximately 8 hours saved per expert weekly.
Estrella LLC claims even larger time savings—7 to 10+ hours per lawyer per week—which the firm says it reinvests into strategy and business development rather than reducing staff. Managing Partner Alberto Estrella noted the firm now delivers proposals “minutes after introductory calls,” allowing it to compete for work it previously couldn’t pursue.
Tiang & Partners, which operates across multiple jurisdictions and languages, reported more than 10 hours saved per lawyer weekly, primarily through automated first-draft translations and cross-border document analysis.
A $30 Million Test Case
DarrowEverett LLP provided the most concrete example of Harvey’s impact on case outcomes. In a family law dispute involving over $30 million in assets, opposing counsel claimed $8.7 million was non-marital property. After uploading five years of financial records into Harvey and querying for commingling evidence, the platform produced a source-linked analysis identifying $2.2 million in marital assets within minutes.
“When presented with the evidence, opposing counsel conceded, securing more than $4 million in additional value for the client,” according to the case study.
Valuation Context
Harvey’s growth trajectory has accelerated rapidly. The company raised a $160 million Series F at an $8 billion valuation in December 2025, led by Andreessen Horowitz. Just two months later, reports emerged of new fundraising discussions at $11 billion—a 37.5% valuation jump.
The startup acquired Hexus, an AI tools company, in January 2026 to expand its in-house legal offerings. Harvey now serves over 1,000 customers across 60+ countries, including a majority of AmLaw 100 firms.
For comparison, the legal tech market has historically been slow to adopt new technology. Harvey’s ability to demonstrate concrete ROI metrics—hours saved, cases added, outcomes improved—may explain why it’s commanding valuations typically reserved for consumer-facing tech companies. Whether these productivity gains translate to sustained revenue growth at enterprise scale remains the key question for its next round of investors.
