Harvey has hired Keith Enright, most recently a partner at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, and previously Chief Privacy Officer at Google, to be its Chief Strategy Officer.
Since it launched, Harvey has made several partner-level hires. Enright, who is based in the US, was at Gibson Dunn for around 18 months, but spent over 13 years at Google. He’s also worked at Macy’s and IBM, among other roles.
At Gibson Dunn, Enright co-chaired the firm’s Tech and Innovation Industry Group and Artificial Intelligence Practice Group. While at Google, Enright ‘scaled and led the global privacy, legal, compliance, and consumer protection teams, and led company strategy on some of the most challenging policy and legal issues’, they said.
In his new role, Enright will ‘lead Harvey’s engagement with the judiciary, bar associations, legal educators, and policymakers, an increasingly critical work stream as courts, regulators, and law schools grapple with the implications of AI in legal practice’, they added.
He will also oversee hiring for new enterprise vertical leads as Harvey ‘deepens its penetration in banking, private equity, and other high-value sectors’.
Enright commented: ‘Harvey is the clear leader in the legal AI space, and I’m excited to join the team and advance their ambition to help lawyers deliver more client value, with greater speed, efficiency, and quality.’
Harvey’s CEO, Winston Weinberg, added: ‘Keith’s rare combination of deep technical fluency, legal industry credibility, and AI policy experience makes him exactly the kind of leader Harvey needs as we scale into every major enterprise vertical. His arrival will accelerate Harvey’s leadership as the operating system for the world’s best legal teams, helping them accelerate and improve their work with AI and better collaborate within the Harvey platform.’
The news follows a spate of developments at the pioneering legal AI platform, including announcing a plan to co-invest with The Legal Tech Fund into startups. They have also recently undertaken acquihires to bring in new tech talent.
