Posted this on LinkedIn already so I will keep it short.
Latham and Watkins just did the dumbest thing imaginable.
In its own words:
Latham & Watkins has signed an enterprise license for firmwide rollout of the Harvey platform and its full suite of generative AI solutions. The large-scale deployment will make Harvey available globally to lawyers and related business professionals across the firm, who will leverage the suite of AI solutions for various aspects of legal work, including research, document analysis, drafting, and more.
R.I.P. Latham.
Undoubtedly other #biglaw firms will now rush off that cliff like the lemmings they are.
Mark my words (actually I just did) the firm is now a wounded animal.
Any young partners want to jump ship and come join a real law firm? Troutman Amin, LLP is interested. Give us a buzz.
