When legal research giant LexisNexis and legal AI giant Harvey <a href= "https://www.lawnext.com/2025/06/legal-ai-platform-harvey-to-get-lexisnexis-content-and-tech-in-new-partnership-between-the-companies.html"> announced a strategic alliance last month</a>, legal tech commentator <a href= "https://www.artificiallawyer.com/2025/06/18/lexisnexis-harvey-announce-alliance-will-share-legal-data/"> Richard Tromans called it</a> “possibly the most important legal tech move in a decade.” On today’s episode of LawNext, we go deep into the partnership and its implications with <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanfitzpatricklexisnexis/">Sean Fitzpatrick</a>, CEO of LexisNexis North America, UK & Ireland.  Through the partnership, LexisNexis will integrate its primary law content, Shepard's citations, and AI technology directly into Harvey's platform, and the two companies will jointly develop agentic AI workflows. The partnership comes on the heels of Harvey's remarkable Series E funding round, raising $300 million at a $5 billion valuation, in which RELX, LexisNexis's parent company, was a participating investor.  So what drove this alliance? In his interview with host Bob Ambrogi, Fitzpatrick reveals it wasn't a boardroom strategy session that sparked this partnership, but rather customer demand from large law firms seeking the combined power of LexisNexis's authoritative legal content and Harvey's AI capabilities. Fitzpatrick talks about what this means for the future of legal AI, how it addresses the persistent challenge of hallucinations in AI-generated legal content, and whether we're witnessing the emergence of a new model for legal tech partnerships. He also shares insights from recent ROI studies showing dramatic productivity gains for both law firms and corporate legal departments using AI tools.    Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.
