It would be considered privileged if your lawyer told you to and you had no reason to doubt it wouldn’t be. Your lawyer would be negligent if they didn’t have a contract with Harvey.

Just like emailing your lawyer on Office365 doesn’t get rid of client attorney either.

Yeah but it’s the data breaches that’s worrying right? They obviously store people’s data. They’ll get breached eventually they all do.

Even during a data breach, leaked legal data can’t be used against you in most situations.
