Why this matters
Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath has moved past pilots into deployment. This is a high-significance signal for buyers benchmarking their panel.
Faegre Drinker announced a firmwide deployment of Harvey (legal-specific AI platform) and rollout of Microsoft Copilot to all ~1,200 attorneys, consulting professionals, and staff across its offices, following an eight-month pilot beginning October 2025 that involved roughly 300 early adopters testing on live client matters. The rollout followed testing of the firm's own internal AI platform, Atlas AI, and included a six-city 'Advanced Harvey' training roadshow. Within 30 days of launch, nearly 90% of attorneys were actively using AI, with over 1,000 Harvey logins and more than 150,000 prompts submitted firmwide.
"Selecting Harvey followed an in-depth evaluation process. Harvey consistently stood out for its ability to enhance legal workflows while supporting innovation across the organization. — Scott M. Angelo, Chief Technology & Innovation Officer, Faegre Drinker"
