AI surfaces evidence; lawyers retain judgment
AI tools like Harvey surface historical contract evidence to support comparison and verification—but lawyers retain responsibility for determining which precedents are comparable and what those outcomes imply for the current negotiation.
Supporting evidence
Benchmark Indemnification Clauses vs. Deal History | Harvey
Original excerpt
The lawyer still decides which precedent deserves weight and which position makes sense for the current deal. This is the real advantage — not simply having more indemnification clauses in your archive, but knowing which precedents matter for the deal in front of you. Harvey makes the organization’s deal history easier to search, compare, and verify, so lawyers spend less time hunting for precedent and identifying unusual positions, and more time negotiating from evidence grounded in comparable transactions.
Context
Instead of finding one old agreement and assuming it represents the norm, your team can now look across a relevant cohort, see where the current proposal falls, and inspect the source language behind the comparison.
