Midpage, the AI-native legal research platform that claims to be ‘10X less expensive than Westlaw’s and Lexis’s comparable products,’ and covers much of US case law now, will be accessible directly within Harvey, ‘so lawyers can find and cite authority on the same platform they use for drafting and analysis’.

A Midpage spokesperson told Artificial Lawyer: ‘The Midpage/Harvey integration is highly flexible. It allows Harvey’s Assistant to search, review, and fetch case law, statutes, regulations, and agency materials from the Midpage database. This means Harvey users can perform any type of workflow that relies on these materials, from pulling cases and monitoring dockets to cite checking and drafting any type of brief.’

Harvey already has a limited legal research data relationship with LexisNexis. The move also comes as rival Legora has ramped up its own legal research offering, such as via its acquisition of Wexler, among other steps it has made in this area.

And such a strategy makes total sense. What do the very broad legal AI platforms lack? Case law is one of those areas that’s hard to develop on your own without a lot of very focused time and effort – and Harvey have had plenty of other aspects to work on as they build outwards globally.
