Why this matters
MinterEllison is buying the talent to run AI at scale, with Harvey AI in the stack. A meaningful marker of where the firm's capability is heading.
Gary Adler, who spent more than 11 years at MinterEllison and close to nine as its Chief Digital and AI Officer, joins Harvey as Legal Innovation Partner, leading legal innovation for APAC from Melbourne. Point Blank notes Minters hired its first Chief AI Officer from outside only months earlier, so the move shifts a senior firm-side AI leader to a vendor.
