4 Mid-Sized Legal Teams Turning AI Into Real Results
See how boutique firms and scaling in-house teams are using Harvey to increase capacity and reach better conclusions, faster.
For boutique law firms and lean in-house teams, impact shows up quickly. With fewer layers and less room for inefficiency, gains in speed, quality, and clarity are felt immediately, particularly when AI is applied directly to legal work.
The teams below are using Harvey to embed AI into everyday legal workflows. These examples show how firms and in-house teams are delivering measurable impact, including hours reclaimed each week, increased case capacity, earlier leverage in disputes, and stronger outcomes for clients, without changing how they practice.
DarrowEverett: Winning High-Stakes Matters by Seeing Clearly, Faster
At DarrowEverett LLP, modern litigation is defined by volume and pressure: terabytes of discovery data, compressed timelines, and scrutiny from opposing counsel and the court. In that environment, winning depends on reaching defensible conclusions earlier, not just moving faster. “We didn’t just need to move faster,” says Andrew Adams, Partner and Chief Administrative Officer. “We needed a way to structure, refine, and verify our thinking — without compromising judgment.”
DarrowEverett uses Harvey to structure massive datasets, surface decisive facts, and link every conclusion directly to source evidence. Lawyers rely on Harvey as a second set of eyes: allowing teams to cut through overwhelming volume and focus on the facts that actually matter.
“In high-stakes litigation, the firm that sees clearly wins. Harvey lets us scale judgment — not headcount — and that’s how we stay ahead.”

Partner and Chief Administrative Officer at DarrowEverett
In a high-stakes family law matter involving more than $30 million, opposing counsel claimed that $8.7 million in assets were non-marital. DarrowEverett uploaded five years of financial records into Harvey and asked a single question about commingling. Within minutes, Harvey produced a source-linked analysis identifying $2.2 million in marital assets. When presented with the evidence, opposing counsel conceded, securing more than $4 million in additional value for the client.

Estrella: Scaling Senior Judgment Without Changing the Firm’s Model
For a firm built on senior lawyer judgment, scale can be a double-edged sword. As Estrella, LLC continued to grow, partners and experienced attorneys increasingly found themselves spending time on first drafts, repetitive reviews, translations, and proposals — work that limited capacity and pulled focus away from strategy and client counseling.
“No matter how long you’ve been in practice, no one lawyer knows it all,” says Managing Partner Alberto Estrella. “Harvey helps us spot more issues, add more layers, and consistently deliver better work product.”
Estrella uses Harvey to standardize and strengthen drafting, review, and analysis across the firm. Lawyers rely on firmwide prompts to review motions, pleadings, contracts, and client reports — enforcing structure, clarity, accurate citations, and the firm’s preferred writing style. In litigation, Harvey is used to surface counterarguments lawyers may not have considered. In corporate and commercial work, teams use it to accelerate drafting, diligence, and document comparison without sacrificing precision.
“I run a specific prompt through Harvey for Word every single time I draft or review a client report. It improves the quality of the document every time, consistently.”
Alberto Estrella
Managing Partner at Estrella
The impact is measurable. Estrella saves an average of 7–10+ hours per lawyer per week, time that is reinvested into strategy, client counseling, and business development. Proposals are now delivered minutes after introductory calls, allowing the firm to compete more effectively for new work and take on more matters without expanding headcount.
Masin Projects: Increasing Case Capacity by 35% Without Sacrificing Precision
At Masin Projects, the first question on any new dispute isn’t strategy, it’s how fast the team can understand the case. For complex construction and engineering claims, that initial review traditionally meant seven to ten days of manual work before experts could even begin deeper analysis.
“With Harvey, we’ve achieved a new level of efficiency and precision,” says Rohit Singal, CEO of Masin Projects. “Harvey provides us the bandwidth to go beyond routine tasks and focus on strategic analysis — a critical advantage for our clients.”
Masin uses Harvey to rapidly process and analyze dense claims materials, summarize complex documentation, and generate targeted deposition and cross-examination questions. Harvey is also used to prepare expert witnesses by anticipating counterarguments and sharpening testimony before hearings and proceedings.
With Harvey in place, Masin has:
- Increased overall case capacity by 35%, enabling experts to manage more concurrent matters
- Saved approximately 8 hours per expert per week, time that is reinvested into deeper analysis
- Reduced initial case reviews from 7–10 days to minutes or hours, depending on complexity
By collapsing the time between document intake and expert judgment, the firm can move faster, go deeper, and deliver stronger, more defensible recommendations in high-stakes disputes.

Tiang & Partners: Delivering Governed, Global Legal Work at Speed
Tiang & Partners’ lawyers regularly work across languages, jurisdictions, and legal systems — where document review, legal research, and translation must be both fast and precise. The challenge wasn’t whether AI could help, but how to adopt it responsibly in client-facing legal work.
When deploying Harvey, the firm established a core deployment team, developed a risk-based AI framework, and embedded governance, training, and quality controls from the start. With that foundation in place, lawyers began using Harvey directly in their daily workflows: drafting, reviewing, analyzing, and translating legal and non-legal documents with human oversight at every step.
One of the earliest and most impactful use cases was legal translation. Within weeks of deployment, Harvey was handling all first-cut translations within the firm’s usage rules, allowing lawyers to collaborate across languages in real time and respond to clients faster. Attorneys also use Harvey to enhance legal advice, prepare client communications, and analyze complex materials across structured and unstructured formats.
“[Harvey] is incredibly powerful, and we are benefiting from having ingrained it into our daily workflows.”
Michelle Taylor
Managing Partner at Tiang & Partners
The result is measurable time savings (more than 10 hours per lawyer per week) paired with higher-quality, more consistent work product. For Tiang & Partners, Harvey brings speed, rigor, and global collaboration together, enabling the firm to deliver modern legal service without compromising standards.
