Harbor has established an innovation lab with a specific focus on experimenting with and refining solutions through the utilization of advanced technologies and processes. This initiative targets both law firms and in-house legal departments.
Matt Sunderman, CEO of Harbor, stated that the legal engineering services offered by Harbor Labs aim to facilitate the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies. They are actively working on developing solutions to enhance the delivery of managed services to law firms, enabling them to effectively utilize advanced technologies on a large scale while managing costs.
"Our innovation lab is also developing solutions that will transform how Harbor delivers managed services to law firms, so they can leverage advanced technologies cost-effectively and at scale, and keep pace in this rapidly changing environment."
Harbor Labs' leadership team consisting of DeFelice, Chung, and others such as Nick Kadochnikov and Justin Hectus, brings a wealth of experience in AI and advanced technology engineering, as well as strategic management.
Harbor's announcement of its innovation lab coincides with a trend in the legal tech industry where companies and law firms are introducing their own tools leveraging generative AI technologies. Notable law firms such as Dechert LLP, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, and Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP have launched internal generative AI chat apps.
According to a Harbor spokesperson, the former KP Labs team has already developed pilot AI chatbots for various clients.
