SINGAPORE, 4 SEPTEMBER 2024 – WongPartnership is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Harvey, a leading provider of generative AI solutions for the legal sector. This partnership ushers in a new era in the integration of generative AI technology within the region as WongPartnership becomes the first law firm in South East Asia to deploy Harvey’s cutting-edge generative AI system. The significant move underscores the firm's dedication to continued innovation, progress and excellence.

WongPartnership is working with Harvey to test-run the generative AI solution in a phased approach amongst its lawyers and across different business units. The initiative is spearheaded by the legal technology team housed under the firm's Knowledge, Innovation & Technology department.

The firm intends to leverage the generative AI solution, which harnesses the power of natural language processing, machine learning and data analytics, as an assistive tool to streamline the firm's operations and legal processes to save lawyers' time and increase productivity.

Ng Wai King, Chairman and Managing Partner of WongPartnership expressed enthusiasm about the new partnership, “Legal innovation is essential to our mission and the way we work. Integrating generative AI technology is a key investment by the firm to strengthen our capabilities for our clients and further optimise our practice. We are thrilled about the potential of this partnership to empower our lawyers to achieve greater efficiency, improving both their professional quality of life and overall well-being.”

Winston Weinberg, CEO and Co-Founder, Harvey, commented on the new partnership, “We are excited to be working with WongPartnership, a firm that shares our vision for innovation and leadership in the legal field. WongPartnership’s forward-thinking approach and commitment to pioneering technology make them an ideal partner for us. We look forward to working closely with the firm to further enhance their operations and deliver outstanding value.”

Harvey, an AI-powered legal technology startup, recently reached the 'unicorn' status of being a private company valued at more than US$1 billion after securing a US$100 million Series C led by GV (Google Ventures). Officially known as Counsel AI Corp., it is the only legal-specific company to make the Forbes AI 50 list and is backed by industry giants such as the OpenAI Startup Fund and Sequoia Capital. WongPartnership's partnership with Harvey cements the firm's reputation as a forerunner in legal technology as it continues to explore innovative ways to deliver exceptional service and value to its clients.
