Following its firmwide rollout, Faegre Drinker Chief Technology & Innovation Officer Scott Angelo confirmed the firm is intentionally running two AI platforms in parallel — Copilot for non-legal-specific tasks and general staff use, and Harvey for legal-specific workflows such as contract review, drafting, risk identification, and due diligence — alongside CoCounsel and practice-specific solutions, positioning the firm as 'AI-led' with the goal of being a leader in AI adoption within the legal community.

Faegre Drinker formally deployed two AI assistants firmwide — Microsoft Copilot (integrated into Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, Edge) and Harvey (legal-specific AI) — to every attorney, paralegal, and administrative staff member across its 22 offices in the US, UK, and China. The rollout followed an eight-month pilot beginning October 2025 involving 300 early adopters testing tools on live client matters under strict governance protocols, including attorney-client privilege safeguards and mandatory output verification. The firm previously tested its own AI platform, Atlas AI, before committing to Harvey and Copilot enterprise-wide.
