How Moses Singer Competes — and Wins — in a Hypercompetitive Market
“As a mid-market firm, we need to add value for our clients at a cost structure that makes sense — while ensuring our attorneys are operating at their highest and best use. Harvey allows us to do both.”

Chief Executive Officer at Moses Singer
About Moses Singer
Moses Singer is a full-service law firm delivering strategic, solutions-focused legal counsel across banking, corporate and transactional law, litigation, real estate, intellectual property, labor and employment, and trusts and estates.
The firm serves businesses, institutions, and individuals navigating complex legal and business challenges. As competition intensifies and client expectations rise, Moses Singer continues to invest deliberately in technology, process, and talent to deliver exceptional value without compromising quality or trust.
Opportunity
For mid-market firms, the challenge isn’t ambition — it’s physics.
Clients expect greater efficiency and faster turnaround. At the same time, firms must compete with Big Law’s scale while maintaining a cost structure that works — for clients and for the business.
Pricing pressure, talent expectations, and the weight of repetitive work converge quickly. Leaders must invest carefully, with no margin for error.
For Chief Executive Officer Rebecca Goodman-Stephens, the challenge wasn’t about doing more work. It was about protecting where human judgment matters most.
Rather than asking teams to work harder or grow headcount, Goodman-Stephens made a clear call: invest in technology that would push down commodity work and protect judgment where it mattered most.
Solution
As CEO, Goodman-Stephens sets direction beyond day-to-day operations. She aligns people, processes, and technology to strengthen performance and client service across the firm.
Her priority was clear: push down commodity work and elevate the work only people can do.
Moses Singer adopted Harvey to give its teams leverage — without shortcuts. Harvey allows lawyers to move past repetitive, time-consuming tasks and focus on analysis, judgment, and strategy.
“With tools like Harvey, we’re able to retain and develop lawyers who want to operate at their highest and best use,” she says.
Today, 75% of Moses Singer’s lawyers and staff use Harvey to accelerate early-stage work and focus more time on high-value legal judgment.
Harvey serves as an accelerator — not a replacement — with lawyers retaining full responsibility for every decision and outcome.
| Practice Area | Use Case | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Real Estate | Analyzes leases and amendments in minutes instead of days | Saves ~40 hours of associate time and surfaces inconsistencies requiring deeper lawyer review |
| Litigation | Reviews multi-document records, flags inconsistencies, and synthesizes facts | Enables earlier pressure-testing of arguments and shifts focus from manual review to strategy |
| M&A | Accelerates diligence and drafts first-pass client memos | Acts as a force multiplier for associates and adds a layer of quality control for partners |
