Why Time Entry Was Harvey’s First Integration With Aderant

Lawyers can finish a filing and because of the many things they do, weeks later, can't remember what it was even about. In this episode of Studio A, Will Ayers sits down with Matthew Guillod, Senior Product Manager at Harvey, to unpack the new integration connecting Harvey and Aderant's iTimeKeep. Matt walks through why time entry, of everywhere Harvey could have plugged in, was the first problem they chose to solve with Aderant, how the Submit Time button captures billable work the moment it happens, and why Harvey drafts a narrative but always leaves the final submission to the lawyer. Tune in to hear what law firm security teams ask before adopting the integration and what Aderant brought to the table that made it possible.

Lawyers can finish a filing and because of the many things they do, weeks later, can't remember what it was even about.

In this episode of Studio A, Will Ayers sits down with Matthew Guillod, Senior Product Manager at Harvey, to unpack the new integration connecting Harvey and Aderant's iTimeKeep. Matt walks through why time entry, of everywhere Harvey could have plugged in, was the first problem they chose to solve with Aderant, how the Submit Time button captures billable work the moment it happens, and why Harvey drafts a narrative but always leaves the final submission to the lawyer.

Tune in to hear what law firm security teams ask before adopting the integration and what Aderant brought to the table that made it possible.

Highlights:

  • Why Time Entry: Why Harvey chose time entry, of all things, as the first place to build its Aderant integration
  • Human In The Loop: Why Harvey's AI drafts billing narratives but always leaves the final submission to the lawyer
  • Front Office Meets Back Office: How the integration connects Harvey's front-office work to Aderant's back-office billing systems
