McCann FitzGerald LLP Leads Irish Legal Market with Firm-Wide Harvey Rollout

This enterprise-wide rollout marks a major milestone in McCann FitzGerald's adoption of Harvey AI, which began in early 2024, led by the Firm’s Project Services Group. It reflects the firm's conviction that the effective deployment of cutting-edge technology is integral to maintaining its position at the top tier of the Irish legal market. Harvey AI enables the firm's lawyers to deepen their analysis, expedite insights and streamline legal workflows – reinforcing, rather than replacing, the expert legal judgment and rigorous professional standards on which the firm's reputation is built.

McCann FitzGerald has undertaken a comprehensive review of generative AI’s opportunities and limitations. The firm’s AI strategy will continue to be implemented so as to ensure that generative AI tools are adopted in a way that strengthens client service while supporting the professional growth and development of the firm’s lawyers. A cross-firm collaborative team, including Paula Fearon and the Project Services Group, and Mairéad Cullen and our Technology Team and a number of key partners have driven adoption and innovation using Harvey AI throughout the Firm.

Commenting on the firmwide rollout, Managing Partner Stephen Holst said: " At its core, McCann FitzGerald's investment in generative AI is driven by its commitment to clients. By equipping every lawyer and professional across the firm with Harvey AI, McCann FitzGerald is ensuring that its people have the best available tools to enhance the depth and precision of their work. The technology underpins the firm's legal expertise; it does not substitute for it. Every piece of AI-assisted work product remains subject to the same exacting standards of professional review and quality assurance that our clients have come to expect. We are very excited for the opportunities this brings for our Firm and our clients”

Winston Weinberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Harvey, said: “McCann FitzGerald has built a strong reputation for excellence and thoughtful innovation in legal practice. Their firmwide rollout reflects a clear commitment to equipping lawyers with technology that strengthens the quality and depth of their work. We’re proud to support the firm as it brings Harvey to teams across the organisation.”
