Suits’ Harvey Specter chats to A&O Shearman partner in surreal interview

Harvey, the legal AI company, released a LinkedIn interview featuring its brand ambassador Gabriel Macht (who plays Harvey Specter on Suits) with A&O Shearman partner David Wakeling to discuss AI use in legal work, following rival Legora's similar campaign with Jude Law.

AI bubble indicator? Harvey Specter has sat down with a top Magic Circle lawyer to discuss how he uses AI in his day-to-day work, begging the question: where does the world of legal AI marketing go from here? The interview, posted on LinkedIn this week, sees Gabriel Macht, the actor who plays Harvey Specter in Suits , in conversation with David Wakeling, a partner at A&O Shearman https://www.legalcheek.com/firm/ao-shearman/ and global head of the firm’s markets innovation group. Wakeling reflects on how the tool has changed his day-to-day practice. It’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. Macht’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. Not 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/ . Quite what the next legal AI-meets-celebrity crossover will look like remains to be seen.
