Intapp Partners with Harvey to Bring Ethical Wall Enforcement Directly Into AI Platforms

Intapp and Harvey announced a strategic partnership this week to bring industry-standard ethical wall enforcement directly into Harvey’s generative AI platform for legal professionals. The collaboration unites two complementary AI platforms.

Harvey, which provides generative AI tools for drafting, research, and document analysis, and Intapp, which applies AI to the business of law. Together, the companies are addressing a governance gap that has emerged as law firms increasingly use AI at scale.

As firms use generative AI for drafting, research, and document analysis, a governance gap has emerged. Lawyers must maintain ethical walls between conflicting matters, preserve attorney-client privilege, prevent the commingling of confidential information across client engagements, and comply with regulatory frameworks that vary by jurisdiction and practice area.

However, governance protocols that respect these obligations have historically not extended into AI platforms and agents, leaving compliance dependent on users’ self-policing and ad hoc audit logs.
