SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Ivo, the AI-powered contract intelligence platform for enterprise in-house legal and procurement teams, announced a partnership with Harbor, the leading provider of professional and technology services to the legal industry. Together, the two companies will help enterprise legal departments deploy Ivo’s product suite, including Ivo Review, Ivo Intelligence, Ivo Assistant, and Ivo Collaborate, across their organizations.
Legal departments are moving past AI pilots into full deployment for contract intelligence. That shift requires technology held to the same high standard against which legal teams hold their work, and a rollout designed around how a legal department operates. Ivo brings the contract intelligence; Harbor brings the advisory and implementation work, including change management, that puts it into daily use across the organization.
“Contract intelligence is quickly becoming central to how legal departments manage risk and get more value from their agreements. By making contract data easier to find, understand, and act on, it gives legal and business teams greater visibility into obligations, risks, and opportunities across the enterprise,” said Jeff Marple, Senior Director and Contracts Co-lead at Harbor.
Kristin Hagan, Vice President of Partnerships at Ivo, spoke about how Harbor brings experience and intrinsic value to customers considering an AI-native contracting transformation that goes beyond the merits of the software itself. “Accuracy earns a team’s trust in an AI tool; deployment is what determines whether it’s an organization-wide success. Harbor has spent three decades on the second problem, and their work with our shared clients means those teams can move from their first contract review to company-wide adoption faster and more successfully.”
Ivo’s four products cover AI contract review and analysis end to end. Ivo Review produces redlines that track to a company’s own playbook language. Ivo Intelligence reads across a contract portfolio to surface valuable business insights. Ivo Assistant completes legal work from natural-language prompts. Ivo Collaborate runs the full contracting process, from intake to signature, all in one place.
Harbor will serve as an advisory and implementation partner for Ivo, working with shared clients on contract management best practices, agent orchestration, collaboration rollout, systems integration, intelligence use case development, and AI adoption across legal departments. The firm brings more than 30 years of legal industry experience and a global team of close to 1,000 professionals across strategy, technology, operations, and intelligence.
“Ivo has a strong platform for organizations that want to apply AI across the full contract lifecycle. We’re already seeing the value with our mutual clients, and this partnership lets us bring that value to more legal departments as they move from early use to full adoption,” added Matt Linder, Senior Director and Contracts Co-lead at Harbor.
