Harvey Acquires Hexus to Boost AI Legal Tech Expansion
Harvey has acquired Hexus, a two-year-old company known for building tools that create product demos, videos, and guides. The move signals a clear focus: accelerate adoption and results for legal teams, especially in-house departments that need faster enablement and smoother rollout.
Hexus founder and CEO Sakshi Pratap said her San Francisco team has already joined Harvey, with engineers in India set to come on board once the Bengaluru office opens. Pratap will lead engineering to advance Harvey's offerings for internal legal departments. Her words were direct: "What we bring to Harvey is deep experience building enterprise AI tools in adjacent problem areas. This experience helps Harvey move faster in a market that is becoming increasingly competitive."
Why Hexus matters for legal teams
- Enablement at scale: Hexus' strengths in demos, videos, and guides can improve how legal teams onboard, train, and adopt AI workflows.
- Enterprise-grade mindset: The team's experience shipping AI tools for complex organizations fits the needs of corporate legal and large firms.
- Faster iteration: With engineering leadership under Pratap, expect quicker product cycles focused on in-house legal use cases.
Deal terms and team structure
- Hexus raised $1.6 million from Pear VC, Liquid 2 Ventures, and angel investors.
- Deal terms were not disclosed, but Pratap said the structure emphasizes long-term incentives for the team.
- Team integration spans San Francisco now, with an engineering hub planned in Bengaluru.
Harvey's momentum
Harvey reports an $8 billion valuation after a $160 million round, with $760 million in total funding in 2025. Backers include Andreessen Horowitz, T. Rowe Price, WndrCo, Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Conviction, and angel investor Elad Gil. The company says it serves 1,000+ customers across 60 countries, including most of the US top-10 law firms.
According to Harvey, the OpenAI Startup Fund remains its second-largest investor following the $160 million round. As Harvey put it, "That was the moment when we realized: the entire industry can be transformed by this technology."
What this means for in-house counsel and law firm leaders
- Faster rollout: Expect more built-in guidance, demos, and training that reduce friction for busy legal teams.
- Better adoption: Clear, embedded education lowers the learning curve for contract review, matter workflows, and policy work.
- Operational clarity: Stronger enablement can help standardize processes and reduce variance across global teams.
- Risk and governance: Enterprise-focused engineering leadership suggests continued attention to controls, auditability, and permissions.
Practical next steps for legal leaders
- Map 3-5 high-volume workflows where enablement content (in-app guides, short videos) would speed adoption.
- Pilot with a defined intake, review, and feedback loop; require usage metrics and time-saved reporting.
- Align IT and InfoSec early on procurement, access controls, data handling, and vendor assessments.
- Plan training as a continuous habit: short sessions, role-based playbooks, and periodic refreshers.
