Singapore Big Four law firm WongPartnership says it has become the first in Southeast Asia to partner with Harvey, a legal artificial intelligence platform, to implement its generative AI solutions.

WongPartnership announced it will test Harvey's generative AI solutions across different business units in a phased approach. The initiative aims to streamline operations and legal processes to improve productivity.

The firm’s legal technology team, part of its Knowledge, Innovation & Technology department, will oversee the implementation.

"Integrating generative AI technology is a key investment to strengthen our capabilities for our clients and further optimise our practice," said Ng Wai King, chairman and managing partner of WongPartnership, in a statement.

Added: Winston Weinberg, CEO and co-founder of Harvey: "We are excited to be working with WongPartnership, a firm that shares our vision for innovation and leadership in the legal field.”

Harvey, an AI-powered legal technology startup, recently achieved unicorn status with a valuation exceeding $1 billion after securing $100 million in Series C funding led by Google Ventures.

This move reflects a growing trend of law firms and corporate legal departments in Asia embracing AI to enhance efficiency and service delivery.
