Harvey to open Boston office to be closer to New England legal teams

A new base in New England

Harvey announced on October 1, 2026 that it will open an office in Boston this fall. The company says the goal is to work more closely with the legal professionals it serves in the region, including law firms, in-house legal teams and universities.

Harvey describes Boston as a city of universities, hospitals and businesses that shape industries and drive research globally, and says lawyers are central to that work. The office, it says, will deepen existing relationships, bring the company closer to legal teams across New England and support what it calls its rapid growth with law firms and in-house teams alike.

Katie Burke, Harvey's Chief Operating Officer, said the choice of city came naturally. According to her, both the Chief Revenue Officer and the VP of Commercial started their sales careers in Boston, and many customers are either headquartered or operate there. "Lawyers are central to so much of what happens in Boston, and we look forward to building a great team here to support our customers in New England and beyond," she said.

Customers and partners in the region

Harvey says its customers in the area span the breadth of the legal market, from global law firms and specialized practices to in-house teams. The law firms it names are:

• Ropes & Gray
• Mintz
• Foley Hoag
• Verrill

On the in-house side, it lists the legal teams at DraftKings, athenahealth and Toast. Through its law school program, Harvey also partners with Boston University, which the company says is an investment in the next generation of lawyers.

Jessica Collins, Chief Legal Officer at athenahealth, gave a customer view in the announcement. "Harvey has been an invaluable tool for our legal team to help drive efficiency and impact at athenahealth," she said. She added that as legal organizations play a more pivotal role in AI transformation at their companies, they need a tool purpose-built for legal with privacy and security as a top priority.

Team size and hiring

Harvey says it already has 10 employees in Boston. They work across Legal Innovation, Marketing, People, Commercial Legal, Customer Success and Sales. The company cites Boston's depth of talent as a key reason for building the team there as it serves a wider range of customers.

Harvey is also hiring. It says it is actively recruiting across sales, recruiting, legal engineering and customer success, and points candidates to its careers page.

For legal departments and firms in New England, the move signals a more local presence from the vendor, with customer-facing roles among those being added. The source does not give an opening date, an office address or a target headcount, so the scale of the Boston operation beyond the current 10 employees remains unclear. The announcement also appears alongside links to news of a Chicago office, suggesting Harvey is adding physical locations in several cities.
