Legal Tech Startup Harvey Reaches $11 Billion Valuation

A New Funding Milestone

Harvey, one of the most notable innovations in the legal technology sector, has secured a $200 million investment in its latest funding round. This injection of capital, co-led by returning investors Singapore’s GIC and Sequoia, comes as the company continues to dominate headlines with its rapid ascent in the highly competitive tech arena.

Robust Backing From Leading Investors

Augmenting the impressive feat, existing stakeholders, including Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue, Conviction Partners, Elad Gil, Evantic, and Kleiner Perkins, have also contributed to this round. With over $1 billion raised to date, Harvey’s valuation has surged more than 3.5 times in just a year, reflecting its explosive market influence.

Rapid Valuation Growth And Industry Impact

Previously valued at $8 billion following a round led by Andreessen Horowitz in December, Harvey’s evolution has been nothing short of meteoric. The company was earlier valued at $5 billion in a funding round steered by Kleiner Perkins and Coatue in June, and at $3 billion during a Sequoia-led raise in February 2025. Sequoia has demonstrated exceptional confidence by co-leading three rounds since Harvey’s Series A, an endorsement that partner Pat Grady characterized as an extraordinary show of faith.

The Future Of Legal Technology

Founder and CEO Winston Weinberg recently described the journey to success as exhilarating, marking a transformative era for legal technology startups. As Harvey continues to scale its operations across law firms and enterprises, its trajectory epitomizes the innovative spirit redefining the legal landscape.

Clive Owen Films Scorpion In Cyprus In One Of The Island’s Biggest Productions

Cyprus Secures Another High-Profile Production

Oscar-nominated British actor Clive Owen is filming Scorpion in Cyprus, a new action thriller from Copper Island that is understood to have one of the highest daily production budgets ever recorded for a film shoot on the island.

Filming began in Cyprus on July 6 and is scheduled to conclude later this month in Bulgaria. The production marks another high-profile international project to choose Cyprus as a filming location.

A Cast Built For International Sales

Alongside Owen, the film stars Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike, The Butler, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare) and Reda Elazouar (Sex Education, The Family Plan). The cast also includes Ronan Summers, Jake Ryan, Mark Rhino Smith, Joey Ansah, Alex Cooke and Luke Bouchier.

The screenplay is by Richard Hughes and Bennett Fisher. Copper Island’s Matt Murphy, David Mansfield and Luke Bouchier are producing, while WestEnd Films is handling international sales. The company is expected to present the first footage at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

A Survival Thriller

Scorpion follows Jason, a rookie police officer assigned to an elite special operations unit made up of Afghanistan war veterans. After arriving at an isolated farmhouse, the team is cut off from the outside world and given an ultimatum: every 30 minutes one member will die unless someone reveals the truth about a covert military operation carried out years earlier.

Cyprus’ Role In The Production

The production credited the Cyprus Film Commission for its support, with Copper Island founder Matt Murphy thanking both the commission and the local crew.

Owen also praised the experience of filming in Cyprus, describing the local crew as highly professional and highlighting the island’s diverse filming locations.

Copper Island Expands Its International Portfolio

Limassol-based Copper Island has worked on several international productions, including The Leader, which premiered at Tribeca, as well as Gus Van Sant’s Dead Man’s Wire and Ron Howard’s Eden.

The company is also supporting Cypriot productions, including Apart by Stelana Kliridou and The Well by Marios Piperides, which is completing post-production in Limassol.

Matt Murphy is also serving as executive producer of the upcoming Anxious People, starring Angelina Jolie.
