Top law firm partner: nobody uses Harvey, firm plans $100m+/year token spend
herbiebradley · x · 2026-11-14
First-hand observations from Eito Miyamura after talking to a partner at arguably the best US startup law firm:
- Harvey has no traction: he personally doesn't know a single person in his field who uses it
- Legora is used but seen as overvalued: "only helpful as a tool"
- $100m+/year token budget: the firm plans to invest over $100m annually from its balance sheet into tokens across vendors
- No "juniors are cooked" narrative: the firm is hiring at every level—juniors, seniors, associates
- Fun contrast: the partner never uses AI himself, but his associates all do
