The partnership comes on the heels of Harvey\u2019s remarkable Series E funding round, raising $300 million at a $5 billion valuation, in which RELX, LexisNexis\u2019s parent company, was a participating investor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So what drove this alliance? In his interview with host Bob Ambrogi, Fitzpatrick reveals it wasn\u2019t a boardroom strategy session that sparked this partnership, but rather customer demand from large law firms seeking the combined power of LexisNexis\u2019s authoritative legal content and Harvey\u2019s AI capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Fitzpatrick talks about what this means for the future of legal AI, how it addresses the persistent challenge of hallucinations in AI-generated legal content, and whether we\u2019re witnessing the emergence of a new model for legal tech partnerships. He also shares insights from recent ROI studies showing dramatic productivity gains for both law firms and corporate legal departments using AI tools.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Listen here:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Watch here:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V5hJu1wbrmU?si=irzYChh026Mo6--F\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"> <\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Thank You To Our Sponsors<\/h3>\n<p>This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.
