Harvey banked $550 million at $15.5 billion but left court dockets to PacerPro, so firms pay twice
Harvey raised $550 million at a $15.5 billion valuation in September; Legora matched the check at $8.8 billion on October 21. Court dockets, the record litigation runs on, still enter Harvey only through PacerPro, a private court-data company neither round priced.

Eleven connectors, no courtroom
On October 21, 2026 Harvey$15.5B — Harvey, private, latest valuation $15.5B said its Connector Library had reached general availability: document managers iManage and NetDocuments, storage in Box, Google Drive and SharePoint, Outlook, Teams, Slack, e-discovery in Everlaw, Datasite deal rooms, Docusign signatures, with write-back starting at the document managers 1. Court dockets are not on the list.
The docket arrives another way: PacerPro, a private court-data company, pushes filings one way over its own API into Harvey's Vaults, PacerPro's team does the setup, and firm-wide history sync is still marked beta 2. A firm running litigation on Harvey needs an active subscription to both 2.
Same check, higher price
The plumbing shipped into a frenzied market. Harvey raised $550 million at a $15.5 billion valuation on September 9, up from $8 billion in December 3. On the day the library went live, Legora$5.55B — Legora, private, latest valuation $5.55B, its Sweden-based rival, closed the same $550 million at $8.8 billion, led by Atreides Management, after $550 million at $5.55 billion in March 4.
Legora reports more than $200 million in annual recurring revenue 5, and one trade tally counts $2.9 billion of legaltech funding in the first nine months of 2026, with these two raises worth $1.1 billion of it 6. The listed incumbent Thomson Reuters ships its own CoCounsel on Westlaw's case-law library, and Clio paid $1 billion for vLex's archive 3.
Two $550M rounds in a month: Harvey nearly doubled to $15.5B, Legora up 59%

The rented record under the multiple
Harvey says 80% of the Am Law 100, the hundred largest US firms, and five of the Fortune 10 use its platform, and on October 28 it announced FedRAMP Class D certification, the high tier of the US federal cloud-security bar, hosted in Knox Systems' certified environment 7.
PacerPro, for its part, claims 8 of the top 10 US firms, more than 20 million filings from 1,000-plus courts over eleven years, and 99.7% retention: company figures, unaudited 8. The valuation rests on litigation adoption, yet the curated library Harvey security-reviews 1 does not carry the litigation input.
That record travels on PacerPro's pipe, under PacerPro's security program 2, and Harvey's own documentation notes that an external connector's operator controls what happens to the data afterward 1. PacerPro owns the land under Harvey's litigation farm.

The door swings both ways. Providers can apply to join the curated library, and Harvey already lets firms wire external connectors 1. If Harvey builds or buys court data, the toll ends; until a docket connector ships, every litigation seat bills two subscriptions. The next Connector Library update, and any court-data name in it, is the tell.
