Mori Hamada & Matsumoto, one of Japan’s four largest law firms, has an exclusive partnership with Harvey, a global platform for generative AI solutions in the legal industry, becoming the first Asian-headquartered collaboration partner with exclusive access to an open-ended application programme interface.
Koichiro Iida, managing partner at Tokyo-based Mori Hamada, said: “We intend to further integrate cutting-edge technology into our practice by entering into a strategic partnership with Harvey … Our commitment to implementing AI across our offices enhances our legal services and adds value for our clients and our people.”
Mori Hamada says it will have access to Harvey’s innovative Vault product, which enables generative AI-enhanced large dataset reviews and will work with the company to enhance its services to clients by leveraging generative AI for document review, due diligence, drafting and research across geographies, practices and languages.
In April this year, Mori Hamada also struck a strategic alliance with LegalOn Technologies, a Tokyo-based developer and provider of software related to legal operations. The Japanese legal technology company said in a 9 April that its AI legal platform, LegalOn Cloud, would begin to feature legal content such as templates and guidance on M&A and international transactions prepared by Mori Hamada in summer this year.
