Why Harvey

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.

This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 1500+ customers in 60+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.

Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced lawyer to join our legal team to expand our commercial function. You will interface with our go-to-market, business and cross-functional teams (including Engineering, Product and Security) to help ensure the fast, efficient execution of our agreements with customers.

What You'll Do

Generative AI has the power to greatly change the world and directly impact how things get done. Harvey is at the forefront of this change, and our mission is to make generative AI actionable and useful for our customers. This is a fast moving environment (we are a start-up!) that is serving some of the world’s most renowned law firms and professional organizations. And this role will put you in the center of all of this.

More specifically, you will:

  • Draft, review, and negotiate commercial AI SaaS contracts and other technology and AI-related agreements

  • Provide training and develop resources in support of our sales and other cross-functional teams

We are a small, but growing company, and one of the best things about working in such an environment is that there is lots of opportunity to pick up other aspects of the legal work that supports our company. While the principal job will be as described above, there will be ample opportunities to broaden your wheelhouse here at Harvey!

This role has flexibility to either be based in New York, N.Y.; San Francisco, CA; Chicago, IL; or Dallas, TX on a hybrid work model of 3 days per week in the office, or fully remote if based in another location within the US.

What You Have
  • A law degree from an accredited law school

  • Admitted to practice law and in good standing in at least one jurisdiction and able to practice in Illinois

  • 10+ years of law firm and/or in-house experience

  • Transactional background, including strong experience with complex SaaS, technology, and/or IP licensing and commercial agreements

  • Ability to think creatively, function independently and work proactively in a fast-paced environment

  • Team-focused and collaborative work style; willingness to build expertise and solve new challenges in an evolving practice

  • Hyper-responsive and service-oriented attitude

  • Ninja-like project management skills

  • Bonus qualifications include experience with AI, supporting Go-To-Market/ Sales, and a love for solving hard problems with a small tight-knit team.

Compensation

$210,000-$265,000
