PwC first to bring legal Generative AI solutions to clients in Singapore

For immediate release - Singapore, 11 September 2024: PwC is excited to announce exclusive alliances with two leading generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) companies, Harvey and ContractPodAi, at this year’s TechLaw Fest. These alliances are part of NewLaw’s (PwC’s legal business arm) strategy to deliver new efficiencies to legal clients in Singapore, and PwC is the first professional services firm in Singapore to bring a comprehensive suite of generative AI tools tailored for the legal industry to the local market.

Eric Chin, Director, PwC NewLaw, said:

“As the only professional services firm in the Singapore legal industry to adopt a comprehensive multi-tool legal Generative AI strategy, we are empowering legal teams with advanced legal technology. This pioneering approach underscores PwC’s commitment to delivering human-led and tech-enabled legal solutions to its global clientele.

“Both platforms will empower lawyers in Singapore with the most advanced legal technology to streamline legal processes, enhance decision making, and deliver superior legal support. Lawyers will be able to generate insights and draft recommendations based on large volumes of data, delivering richer information that will enable their legal teams to identify solutions faster.”

Harvey’s specialised AI models for legal and professional services (backed by the OpenAI Startup Fund, Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins, and Google Ventures) leverage a range of large language models and custom models that are fine-tuned for legal analysis. Its product aims to streamline workflows such as contract analysis, regulatory compliance, claims management, due diligence, and broader legal advisory services.

Winston Weinberg, Harvey Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, said:

“Harvey shares PwC’s vision of empowering ambitious professionals across the globe with cutting edge technology to perform the tasks at hand. We are looking forward to deepening our partnership with PwC to bring the latest AI technology to the Singapore legal sector.
