Wakeling reflects on how the tool has changed his day-to-day practice.\n\nIt’s the first instalment in what Harvey says will be an ongoing series pairing its brand ambassador with real-life customers, presumably minus the ethically dubious case strategy and love triangles.\n\nMacht’s association with the platform isn’t new. Back in February, [ Legal Cheek reported](https://www.legalcheek.com/2026/02/legal-tech-giant-harvey-signs-harvey-specter-from-suits-as-brand-ambassador/) that Harvey had signed Macht as a brand ambassador, swapping his fictional Pearson Specter Litt corner office for a rather more literal endorsement deal.\n\nNot to be outdone, rival legal AI outfit Legora hired its own Hollywood heavyweight two months later, [signing Jude Law for a similarly glossy campaign](https://www.legalcheek.com/2026/04/legal-ai-giant-hires-jude-law/).
