In a landmark move that underscores its commitment to innovation
and excellence in the delivery of legal services, Whiteford, a
leading Mid-Atlantic law firm, has entered into an enterprise

AI platform in the legal sector. The new strategic partnership
gives Whiteford’s nearly 200 lawyers across 16 offices an unmatched
ability to generate and develop legal content efficiently,
intelligently and securely.
Whiteford undertook to pilot Harvey beginning in January in
order to understand the scope of this new technology, the potential
value to clients and some of the most effective potential use
cases. It became clear from the outset that Harvey offered
game-changing technology that will enable Whiteford to deliver
faster, smarter and more cost-effective legal solutions to
clients.
Harvey uses natural language processing, machine learning and
data analytics to bring an unprecedented level of analytical power
and insight to legal services. Its advanced algorithms and machine
learning capabilities will assist Whiteford’s lawyers in contract
analysis, due diligence, litigation, regulatory compliance, legal
research, case law analysis and prediction of legal outcomes.
“This is a new era for Whiteford and the legal profession
generally,” said Whiteford Managing Partner Martin Fletcher. “We
are thrilled to be an industry leader in deploying this
exceptionally innovative technology. By rolling out Harvey to our
lawyers, we are empowering them with cutting-edge legal AI, and it
is abundantly clear that substantial value for our clients will
follow.”

range of business and litigation matters, Whiteford has
consistently sought to leverage technology to enhance the
efficiency and effectiveness of its services. The collaboration
with Harvey represents a significant deepening of the firm’s
commitment to be a leader in this regard.
