Harvey and LexisNexis launch co-developed agentic motion-to-dismiss workflow
Harvey has released a Motion to Dismiss drafting workflow co-developed with LexisNexis that plans dismissal grounds, researches U.S. primary law through LexisNexis and Shepard's Citations, and drafts a fully cited motion after lawyer approval of the strategy. Harvey says the work commonly takes associates 40 to 50 or more hours; a Motion for Summary Judgment workflow is planned next.
