Harvey Brings Danish Legal Sources to Its AI Platform
Harvey is partnering with Danish legal publisher Djøf Forlag to add Danish legislation, executive orders and preparatory works to its legal AI platform. Lawyers licensed to use Djøf Forlag’s Jurabibliotek will be able to research and draft with the material alongside their own documents.
- Harvey is partnering with Djøf Forlag to add Danish legal content.
- The material includes consolidated acts, executive orders and preparatory works.
- Licensed Jurabibliotek users can access the content in Harvey.
- The content is expected at the start of next year with no additional charge.
- The partnership follows Harvey’s Norwegian data deal with Gyldendal Rettsdata.
Danish laws, regulations and legislative history
The partnership will bring three connected categories of legal content into Harvey: consolidated acts, the executive orders issued under them, and amendments and preparatory documents. This gives lawyers a way to move from a provision to the regulations that implement it, then examine material showing what the legislature intended.
Harvey said each answer will cite its source. The arrangement is designed to support work where the wording of a provision is only part of the analysis, such as checking preparatory works from when a rule was introduced or tracing a statute through the executive orders issued under it.
Content will work across Harvey’s legal tools
Djøf Jurabibliotek’s licensed content will be available in Harvey Assistant, Agents, Vault, Workflows and Word Add-in. It will sit alongside a legal team’s own notes, prior advice and matter documents.
Harvey listed several use cases for the combined sources. Lawyers can read a provision against its legislative intent, follow an act to the executive orders that implement it, and draft Danish-law advice using both the publisher’s content and a firm’s own precedent.
The legislative content is scheduled to become available in Harvey at the start of next year, with no additional charge. The announcement does not give a specific date.
Part of Harvey’s Nordic legal content expansion
John Haddock, Harvey’s Chief Business Officer, said, “Danish legal teams should be able to work with Danish law in the same place as the rest of their work.” He described Djøf Forlag as “one of the most established names in Danish legal publishing.”
Bjarke Madsen, Digital Director at Djøf Forlag, said the publisher has provided Danish legal sources for more than 65 years and has more recently provided Danish legislation through Jurabibliotek. He said customer demand for those sources in AI-powered legal technology systems made the partnership “a natural next step.”
The deal follows Harvey’s data partnership with Gyldendal Rettsdata in Norway and its work with Danish firms including Kromann Reumert, which went live with Harvey across the firm earlier this year to scale research, drafting and review. For lawyers who already use Harvey, the partnership will place licensed Danish legislative sources beside existing public sources and firm materials, supporting research and drafting within the same workflows.
