Harvey has released a new tool called Shared Spaces Analytics, designed to give legal teams data-driven insights into how their collaboration works. The company says the tool’s goal is to help law firms and corporate legal departments strengthen client relationships and improve outcomes.
What Shared Spaces Analytics Does
The tool pulls information from shared workspaces within Harvey’s platform. It tracks patterns in how teams communicate, share documents, and review matters together. Rather than just providing raw data, it surfaces actionable observations — like which collaboration habits correlate with faster turnaround or higher client satisfaction.
According to Harvey, the analytics are meant to replace guesswork with concrete signals. Legal teams can see, for example, whether their internal discussions are translating into clear client updates or where bottlenecks tend to form in a matter’s lifecycle.
Why Legal Teams Need Better Collaboration Data
Law firms have long struggled to measure the quality of their internal teamwork. Billable-hour models often reward individual effort over collective efficiency. Shared Spaces Analytics tries to shift that focus by making collaboration visible in a way that connects directly to client experience.
The tool doesn't prescribe specific actions. Instead, it highlights areas where teams might adjust how they work together — for instance, by increasing cross-practice input early in a case or by reducing redundant email threads. Harvey positions the feature as a complement to existing project-management and billing software.
Early adopters among Harvey’s customer base have tested the dashboard over the past several weeks. Feedback pointed to a common use case: partners reviewing team performance before quarterly client meetings. The insights let them back up strategic decisions with data rather than anecdotes.
Shared Spaces Analytics is rolling out now to all Harvey users. The company has not disclosed pricing or whether the analytics will be an add-on or included in existing subscriptions. For now, legal teams can start exploring the feature through their Harvey account.
