Harvey has selected DeepL for legal translation needs. Its AI-driven document translation capability will now work directly inside the Harvey platform via an integration.
DeepL currently supports over 100 languages, and ‘will handle over a third of Harvey’s total document translation volume’, they added.
The need for reliable translation is a growing subject for Harvey, which now has thousands of lawyers using its platform across 70 countries.
And, as DeepL noted: ‘Cross-border legal work depends on translating contracts, filings, briefs, evidence, reports, and client materials quickly, accurately and reliably even when documents are long or highly complex.’

Lauren Oh, Product Manager at Harvey, commented: ‘By integrating DeepL’s AI document translation capabilities directly into the Harvey platform, we’re giving legal teams an even faster, more seamless and reliable way to work across languages, while also making sure content stays highly precise and accurate.’
And, Jarek Kutylowski, Founder and CEO of DeepL, added: ‘Legal work usually means dealing with a lot of documentation, whether that’s contracts, filings or case documents that span hundreds of pages, in dozens of different formats and unique contexts. Our platform is built for exactly this level of complexity, and Harvey choosing us for it is clear validation of DeepL’s leadership in the Language AI market.’
And here’s an interview with DeepL:
Why do this, and why now?
AI is increasingly becoming embedded throughout legal work and as adoption scales around the world, language and translation have become an increasingly critical part of legal workflows.
There is also a clear and growing customer demand for this: Harvey now has customers in 70 countries, many of which work with complex, high-stakes documents every day, and document translation is already one of the platform’s most-used workflows.
By bringing DeepL’s document translation capabilities into its platform, Harvey is meeting that demand by bringing high-quality translation directly into the workflows their customers are already using – rather than relying on requiring that they move between separate tools.
The integration currently supports over 100 languages, and will handle over a third of Harvey’s total document translation volume. The document translation workflow is one of the highest used within Harvey
Don’t the general LLMs that Harvey uses provide a good enough translation?
General-purpose LLMs can translate, but for them, translation is one capability among many. DeepL’s models are purpose-built for language, powered by proprietary LLM technology specifically designed and trained for translation and editing. That specialization really matters for business use-cases, including legal work, where accuracy is not just about getting the general meaning right – nuance, terminology, consistency and context can materially change the interpretation of a document.
When it comes to document translation, DeepL also goes beyond just translating the text itself, preserving the formatting, structure and visual context.
Will Harvey customers automatically use DeepL, or do they choose it?
It’s the customer’s choice. DeepL is now available in Harvey, so teams can select it as the engine behind their document translation
Thanks and congrats.
