In an exciting development for the legal tech industry, Harvey AI, a leading AI platform for professional services, is set to establish a permanent presence in Canada with the opening of a new hub in Toronto this October [1][2][3][4][5]. The hub will focus on engineering, product development, and customer collaboration, aiming to further enhance Harvey's AI-driven platform and strengthen its global operations.
The Toronto hub is poised to capitalize on the city's world-class infrastructure, exceptional engineering talent, strong academic institutions, and active AI community, making it an ideal location for Harvey's growth [1][2][3][4][5]. The company plans to hire more than 20 local professionals across engineering, sales, and customer success roles, integrating Canadian technical leadership directly into Harvey's product lifecycle.
Harvey's AI tools are designed to streamline complex legal workflows, offering assistance with contract analysis, due diligence, compliance, litigation workflows, and strategic automation. The platform, trusted by over 500 clients in 54 countries, has already demonstrated strong market fit, with Canadian law firms Davies and Gowling WLG among its clientele [1][2][3].
Founded in 2022 by Winston Weinberg, a former litigator, and Gabriel Pereya, an ex-Google DeepMind researcher, Harvey leverages advanced large-language AI models to deliver secure, AI-driven solutions, drawing from proprietary and public legal sources [4][5]. The Toronto expansion is a strategic move to embed Harvey in Canada’s tech and legal communities, fostering innovation and customer engagement within a region eager to embrace AI-driven legal solutions.
The Toronto hub is just the beginning for Harvey AI in Canada. With the upcoming launch of Legaltech.ca, the company is signaling its long-term commitment to supporting legal innovation in the country. By positioning Toronto as a core development engine for its global operations, Harvey is set to play a significant role in advancing AI adoption in professional services worldwide.
As Winston Weinberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Harvey, stated, "Canada is a place we're thrilled to be building in." With its rich talent pool, vibrant AI community, and receptive legal sector, Toronto is undoubtedly an exciting new chapter for Harvey AI.
