Harvey and Jus Mundi Partner as Legal AI Vendors Rush Out Integrations

By Grace Kim

Harvey and Jus Mundi announced a joint partnership this week that embeds Jus Mundi's specialized agent, Jus AI, directly into Harvey's Assistant, Agents, Vault and Workflows. The deal gives international arbitration and cross-border disputes teams citation-backed research inside the same environment where they review case files and draft submissions.

A practitioner can test a client's position against relevant awards, treaty practice and institutional rules, then compare that research with the record in a Harvey Vault. "The result can go straight into a draft memo, pleading or witness-preparation outline, with every authority linked to its source on Jus Mundi's platform," the companies explained. Harvey is pouring out connections and new features at a rapid pace right now.

What else did Harvey ship?

Harvey also launched a new capability for lawyers handling lawsuits and internal investigations. Built on Harvey's fact graph, the system reads millions of case documents, extracts relevant facts, flags inconsistencies, and creates a shared record that updates as new information arrives. From that foundation, Harvey agents can draft chronologies, deposition outlines, and briefs, so lawyers spend more time on argument and analysis.

DealCloser, the AI-powered transaction management platform, announced an integration with Harvey built on the MCP protocol. The connection supports read and write capabilities, letting lawyers access DealCloser transaction data and take approved actions directly from Harvey. Harvey covers research, drafting, due diligence and document review; DealCloser manages the people, documents, approvals and signatures needed to move a transaction through closing. The takeaway: litigation and deal teams can now stay in one environment for more of the matter lifecycle.

Which other vendors launched products?

• Akin and its Funds Frontier Lab launched 'Living Fund File', designed around the lifecycle of a fund to preserve and connect knowledge across matters and over time. It combines practice-specific workflows, market intelligence capabilities and client collaborations already in use or development.
• K&L Gates launched a Physical AI and Autonomous Systems group focused on legal and regulatory issues as AI moves beyond software into the physical world, including autonomous vehicles, robotics, drones, intelligent infrastructure and industrial automation.
• CLM Leah launched 'Harness Builder' within its Maestro platform, letting subject matter experts create AI applications by describing business outcomes. A legal operations team could describe a need to manage outside counsel spend, and Maestro could build a system to review invoices against billing guidelines, track budgets, flag overruns and route exceptions for approval.
• Agiloft launched a suite of execution-focused AI agents inside its Ask AI platform: a Bulk Update Agent, a Contract Request Agent, an eSignature Agent for Adobe Acrobat Sign, plus a Multi-Pane Document Viewer and a preview of its MCP Server, with Anthropic's Claude as the first external agent client.

• Pilot5 launched Adversarial Verification: every citation in a Pilot5 legal memo is checked by an independent checker, PelAIkan, built by legal tech expert Damien Charlotin, before the lawyer signs. As PelAIkan states: "Most tools confirm a citation exists. PelAIkan goes further: it pulls the source, locates the pinpoint, and tests congruence."
• Newcode announced a technology alliance with iManage, connecting its Nova workspace with iManage content so lawyers can access, draft, review and update documents without leaving their workflow, with iManage permissions, versioning and security policies intact.

Who moved where?

DISCO hired Mich Razon as Chief Technology Officer from Thomson Reuters, where she was CTO and Head of Engineering for Legal AI, bringing more than 30 years of experience including executive roles at Google Cloud and Mastercard. DISCO also hired Johann Wrede as Chief Marketing Officer, previously CMO at Auros and Emburse, with more than 14 years in marketing leadership at SAP.

What does the Pramata survey say about AI readiness?

A Pramata survey of 464 Legal, Finance, Commercial Ops and IT leaders at companies with $500M+ in revenue found that almost 80% are already using AI on their contract data. But only 25% say that data is ready for an AI agent to act on without a person double-checking.

The gap comes down to scattered data. 61% say their contract data lives in four or more places, and only 11% can get a reliable answer in minutes. The takeaway: adoption is running far ahead of data readiness, and practitioners should audit where their contract data sits before deploying agents against it.

Finally, the Legal Innovators New York Conference runs November 17-18 at the Quorum venue by Convene in Midtown, in association with White & Case, with Day One focused on law firms and Day Two on the inhouse world.
