LPHS is a Band 1 Chambers-ranked litigation boutique based in Dallas, Texas. Known for its trial firepower – including former federal and Texas Supreme Court clerks – the firm handles high stakes disputes in financial services, healthcare, insurance, and other major sectors.

In high-stakes litigation, every hour counts. Too often, LPHS found that its lawyers were spending too much time on essential yet routine tasks like generating first drafts, legal research, and document analysis. These time-consuming tasks pulled focus from client strategy and advocacy.

Off the shelf AI tools were non-starters: they didn’t understand legal nuance, risked confidentiality, and couldn’t match LPHS standards. The firm needed more than automation. It needed augmentation. Harvey was the clear choice, given its platform is designed specifically for legal work, offering secure infrastructure, and ability to seamlessly integrate into internal workflows.

"We were looking for a way to save time without compromising quality,” said Chris Schwegmann, Managing Partner. “Unlike generic AI tools, Harvey understands legal context and nuance, which is table-stakes in helping to ensure we can operate with greater agility and focus on the work that allows us to deliver maximum to our clients.”

LPHS launched Harvey with a pilot program, led by Schwegmann and supported by a tech-forward team of partners and associates. Over the course of the pilot, lawyers tested Harvey across a range of litigation use cases, including: drafting, research, deposition preparation, and creation of internal memos.

Broad adoption came from a cultural shift: treating generative AI as a starting point, not a shortcut. Once attorneys saw how Harvey enhanced their work without replacing their voice or judgment, enthusiasm grew. “Our younger lawyers saw Harvey as more than a time-saver. It’s a way to think deeper, faster—and contribute earlier, “ noted Schwegmann.

Today, Harvey is deeply embedded in LPHS’s workflows, delivering measurable gains in both efficiency and strategic output. Attorneys report saving over eight hours weekly—time that is reinvested into high-value work like client counseling, mentoring, and case strategy.

“Harvey has become a true thinking partner. It helps us pressure-test arguments, explore strategies, and deliver value faster than ever,” said Schwegmann. As attorneys have now embraced Harvey as a core part of their practice, LPHS now views generative AI as a catalyst for transforming legal work.

“Harvey is playing a central role in that shift, it has the potential to restore something traditional to the practice: more time for strategy, creativity, and client counseling, while also pushing us toward a faster, more responsive model of service,” added Schwegmann. “We’re eager to keep building alongside a team that understands both the power of AI and the craft of litigation.”

As Harvey continues to evolve, LPHS is excited about deeper integrations, more tailored capabilities, and continued collaboration to shape the future of high-impact litigation. Because at LPHS, it’s not just about being faster, it’s about being better.
