## Summary

Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD) has chosen **Harvey AI** to power its in-house legal team’s workflows, covering capital markets, investment, regulatory and commercial matters. The platform integrates with Microsoft Word and will enable lawyers to search, reuse and analyze institutional knowledge, including precedents and policies, while maintaining oversight over automated tasks.

Harvey’s **Lawyer-Designed Agents** let CBD’s legal team build custom AI tools for recurring workflows, with approval gates for every step. The system cites sources, logs actions and enforces controls like SAML single sign-on, audit logs and IP allow-listing. CBD’s chief risk officer, Mikkel Andersen, called responsible AI adoption critical to agility and resilience. The deployment aligns with the bank’s governance focus, embedding compliance into daily legal operations rather than treating it as a separate process.

## Key points

- CBD selects Harvey AI for legal research, drafting, and document review in Microsoft Word
- Lawyers design custom AI agents with approval workflows and source citations for every output
- Enterprise controls include SAML, audit logs, and IP allow-listing for data protection

## Why it matters

This deal shows how AI can scale institutional knowledge reuse in legal teams while preserving human oversight, a model other banks may adopt as regulatory demands grow.
