Harvey–Intapp Ethical Wall Enforcement Now Generally Available — AI Governance Reaches Information Barrier Layer

Harvey's general availability of Intapp ethical wall enforcement — which automatically syncs existing Intapp Walls for AI policies with Harvey's access and sharing controls across Assistant, Vault, and Workflows — marks the first major legal AI platform integration where conflict and information-barrier policies are enforced systematically rather than through attorney self-discipline. Traditional AI deployments required lawyers to self-police which matter context they could reference within AI tools, a model that California COPRAC practical guidance now explicitly identifies as an inadequate substitute for system-level controls. For KM and risk professionals, the immediate operational question is which other AI tools in the firm's environment still operate outside the information-barrier framework; Harvey–Intapp GA creates a governance reference point against which every other AI tool's ethical wall posture can be evaluated. Intapp also published a framework on August 14 connecting AI governance obligations to existing ethical wall infrastructure, providing KM directors with language to bring both functions under unified policy oversight.
