just had a harvey demo at my firm and am genuinely terrified. I know a lot of firms have already switched to harvey but it seems like it can do a pretty good job at transactional matters and faster too. I can’t help but wonder how this will make billable hours harder to fill and work that can be pushed down more sparse. if harvey can make a closing checklist in two minutes that takes someone maybe an hour or two to review, it’s basically cutting a task that originally would take sometimes up to 10 hours. it also makes me wonder whether partners will need to generate more work or if firms will directly turn to cutting the amount of junior associates hired each year. toughhhh stuff.
thankful I got in pre ai but worried for those that come after.
