Thommessen Rolls Out :Harvey: Firmwide
Thommessen, a leading law firm in Norway, has selected Harvey as its firmwide enterprise legal AI platform. The decision represents a strategic milestone in Thommessen's ongoing digital transformation journey and positions the firm at the forefront of AI-enabled legal services in the Nordic region.
The firm’s decision followed a structured assessment of the legal AI market, testing both international and local alternatives. The selection of Harvey reflects Thommessen's commitment to securing a strategic technology partner capable of supporting both immediate operational needs and future strategic ambitions.
"We have spent several years building our AI capabilities and preparing our organisation for what we believe will be a fundamental transformation of legal services," said Trine Melsether, Chief Digital Officer at Thommessen. "We began testing AI services towards clients early, as well as developed and deployed our own proprietary solution. This allowed our lawyers to understand the potential of AI and helped us identify where advanced tools could add the most value. Harvey represents the natural next step in that journey, offering capabilities that align with the sophisticated workflows our lawyers require."
Thommessen's leadership has articulated a clear vision for the firm's digital future. Managing Partner Sverre Tyrhaug has been outspoken about the transformative potential of AI for the legal profession, noting that the technology has the capacity to perform many tasks currently undertaken by lawyers and that firms must prepare for significant changes in how legal services are delivered.
"We have built a strong foundation through our Innovation & Development team and our internal AI tools. Harvey's approach to partnership, their product roadmap, and their commitment to co-developing custom workflows made them the clear choice. We are confident this collaboration will strengthen our ability to deliver high-quality advice more efficiently and free up time for deeper strategic work for our clients," said Sverre Tyrhaug, Managing Partner at Thommessen.
"Thommessen exemplifies the kind of forward-thinking firm we are honored to work with," said John Haddock, Chief Business Officer at Harvey. "Their dedicated Innovation & Development team and methodical approach to technology adoption is impressive. We are excited to support their continued leadership in the Norwegian and Nordic legal markets."
