Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan is backing Harvey with a US$50 million investment as the legal AI company expands its Canadian customer base and team.
The investment, made through Teachers’ Venture Growth (TVG), brings Harvey’s latest financing to US$600 million. It extends the round co-led by Diffusion and Lightspeed Venture Partners that LegalTech.ca covered earlier this month, which valued the company at US$15.5 billion. Harvey plans to use the financing to expand its products, model training and global workforce.
The company says it now serves more than 100 Canadian law firms and legal teams. Newly announced customers include Blaney McMurtry, Cain Lamarre, Lavery, MLT Aikins and Torkin Manes, alongside in-house teams at Dentalcorp, RONA and AtkinsRéalis’ tax group.
“This partnership will expand our efforts to serve all Canadian legal teams and help them own their intelligence,” said Harvey CEO Winston Weinberg.
TVG senior managing director Rick Prostko pointed to Harvey Tenet, the company’s own post-trained model, as a competitive advantage. As previously reported by LegalTech.ca, Tenet represents a step toward specialized AI shaped around legal work and, eventually, individual firms’ expertise.
Harvey’s Canadian workforce now exceeds 30 employees following its Toronto office opening in 2025. The company is recruiting in engineering, sales and customer support.
It has also hired Halifax-based Erin Kanygin as Legal Innovation Partner. Previously a strategy and innovation adviser at Stewart McKelvey, Kanygin will work alongside Toronto-based counterpart Joe Marando.
In a June interview with LegalTech.ca, Marando emphasized that successful adoption requires training, workflow redesign and partner buy-in. The expanded Canadian team adds support for firms navigating those organizational changes as AI becomes part of everyday legal practice.
