Deals Closed, Cases Won: How DarrowEverett Powers Legal Work with Harvey

About DarrowEverett

DarrowEverett LLP is a full-service law firm built for high-stakes legal battles. The firm advises public and private companies and high-net-worth individuals across real estate, private equity, technology, healthcare, construction, solar and cleantech, and manufacturing.

With offices across major U.S. business hubs, DarrowEverett brings deep subject-matter expertise and a collaborative, cross-practice model to matters where facts are complex, pressure is real, and outcomes matter.

Opportunity

Modern litigation doesn’t suffer from a lack of information. It suffers from too much of it — obscuring the facts that matter most.

DarrowEverett’s lawyers routinely receive and review tens of thousands of documents under tight timelines, terabytes of discovery data in different formats, with novel fact patterns.

“In today’s cases, the challenge isn’t finding information,” says Chad Gottlieb, Partner, Head of Corporate, and Chief Growth Officer. “It’s extracting the facts that actually matter — fast enough to act on them.”

Andrew Adams, Partner and Chief Administrative Officer, recognized that the firm wouldn’t gain an edge by adding headcount or grinding through more hours.

“We didn’t just need to move faster,” Adams says. “We needed a way to structure, refine, and verify our thinking — without compromising judgment.”

Winning meant reaching defensible conclusions earlier, before leverage shifted or outcomes hardened.

Solution

After evaluating generative AI tools, DarrowEverett chose Harvey for one reason: it was built to support legal judgment under scrutiny, not to shortcut it.

Harvey enables DarrowEverett to structure massive data sets, surface decisive facts, link every conclusion directly to source evidence, and validate findings before they ever reach a courtroom or opposing counsel.

“We treat Harvey as a second set of eyes,” Adams says. “It lets us mine enormous volumes of data while maintaining precision and control.”

Rather than replacing analysis, Harvey strengthens it — giving lawyers confidence that their conclusions can withstand adversarial scrutiny.

A $30 Million Family Law Matter

In a high-stakes family law case involving more than $30 million, opposing counsel claimed that $8.7 million in assets were non-marital.

Traditionally, validating that claim would have required days of manual review. Instead, DarrowEverett uploaded five years of financial records into Harvey’s secure environment and asked a single question: Which transactions demonstrate commingling of marital funds?

Within minutes, Harvey produced a detailed report identifying $2.2 million in marital assets, flagging each transaction and linking it directly to its source document.

“Harvey didn’t just tell us the money was there,” says Timothy Conlon, Partner and Practice Leader of the firm’s Private Client Group. “It showed us exactly where it came from.”

When DarrowEverett presented the evidence, opposing counsel conceded. The firm secured more than $4 million in additional value for its client. What once took days happened in under an hour.

Exposing Gaps in Institutional Abuse Litigation

In an institutional abuse case, DarrowEverett faced terabytes of discovery data alongside 497 pages of independent investigative reports. The production felt incomplete, but proving that manually would have consumed enormous time.

Using Harvey, the team cross-referenced the reports against the discovery production and quickly identified documents that should have existed but were missing.

“Our ability to cut through the fog of modern litigation — and deliver justice — was empowered by Harvey,” Conlon says.

In both cases, Harvey transformed overwhelming volume into verified facts — and verified facts into decisive leverage.

Extending the Same Judgment to Corporate Work

The same rigor DarrowEverett applies in litigation carries through its corporate and transactional practices.

Across deals and advisory matters, Harvey accelerates drafting and diligence while preserving the firm’s standards for precision and judgment. Teams use Harvey to generate tailored clauses, prepare disclosure schedules and change-of-control analyses, and support diligence in complex M&A matters.

“Our documents aren’t off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all for clients,” says Gottlieb. “When we deal with integrating complex customized business concepts into legal documents, Harvey is an incredibly helpful launching point for us to build on.”

Impact

The same rigor that wins cases also reshapes how DarrowEverett operates.

With Harvey, the firm takes on larger and more complex matters without adding headcount, reaches defensible conclusions earlier, and responds to clients with greater confidence and precision.

“We’ve always given clients an edge through our nimbleness, business savvy, and rate structure,” Gottlieb says. “Harvey gives us the same tools used at Am Law 100 firms — and it strengthens the value proposition we already had.”

On average, lawyers reclaim up to an estimated six hours per week, reinvesting that time into higher-value analysis and client strategy.

For DarrowEverett, Harvey isn’t an experiment or a productivity layer. It’s core infrastructure.

“In high-stakes litigation, the firm that sees clearly wins,” Adams says. “Harvey lets us scale judgment — not headcount — and that’s how we stay ahead.”
