New York, March 13, 2025 — Harvey, a generative AI platform purpose-built for legal teams, announced Verizon, a global leader in communications and technology, will leverage the platform to enhance efficiency and agility across critical legal and compliance operations.

Verizon’s legal team will utilize Harvey’s advanced generative AI capabilities to streamline tasks such as contract analysis, regulatory and compliance reviews, due diligence, litigation support, and legal drafting. By integrating Harvey’s platform into its operations, Verizon aims to reduce the time spent on routine processes, mitigate risks more effectively, and unlock greater value for the business.

“As part of Verizon’s relentless pursuit of innovation, this partnership demonstrates our commitment to delivering value to our business and, ultimately, to our customers,” said Vandana Venkatesh, Executive Vice President & Chief Legal Officer. “The services offered by Harvey represent the future of legal and compliance work. We look forward to this cutting-edge tool becoming a regular part of our operations allowing us to react and respond more quickly and efficiently.”

“Partnering with Harvey enables us to continue our transformation to the legal department of the future, while enhancing the efficiency of our legal, policy, and responsible business teams and navigate the complexities of today’s regulatory and compliance landscape with lean, technology-enabled teams,” said Gabrielle Kohlmeier, Global Head of Legal Innovation and Emerging Solutions for Verizon, who spearheaded the acquisition and rollout. “Our fast and intensive ‘Generative January’ rollout of Harvey was built on Vandana Venkatesh’s legacy of bringing hackathons to legal. The launch plan involved 10 lab hours for people across legal, policy and responsible business with hundreds of department members participating as part of 51 teams in 21 hours of ‘collective sprint’ hackathons. The hackathons helped quickly identify and scale value generating and cost saving use cases for Verizon.”

“Verizon’s commitment to innovation makes them an ideal use case in demonstrating how generative AI can empower legal teams to drive and support strategic decisions and growth,” said Winston Weinberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Harvey. “By leveraging our AI-powered legal workflows, Verizon’s legal team will have the tools to move faster and maintain a strategic edge.”

The Harvey rollout focuses on equipping Verizon’s legal, policy and responsible business teams with tools to navigate the increasingly complex regulatory landscape and support strategic initiatives with speed and confidence. By combining Verizon’s scale and expertise with Harvey’s purpose-built AI, the collaboration exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to operational excellence in the legal and policy domain.

This initiative is part of Verizon’s broader commitment to embedding transformative technologies and other tools across its operations, ensuring it remains at the forefront of innovation in every aspect of its business.
