Harvey has announced its acquisition of New York‑based Benchmark, a decision infrastructure platform for asset management. Benchmark helps investors make better decisions by capturing their institutional knowledge and turning it into an edge on new deals. Benchmark’s co‑founders, Alec Dunn and Connor Janson, and their team will join Harvey’s product and engineering organization. This marks Harvey’s third acquisition of 2026 and follows a record Q2, in which Harvey added more than US$100 million in net‑new ARR.
Latham & Watkins LLP advised Harvey in the transaction with an Emerging Companies & Growth team led by partners Seth Gottlieb and Tessa Bernhardt, with associates Tim Plummer and Taylor Ashton. Advice was also provided on intellectual property matters by Arielle Singh; on tax matters by Bay Area partner Grace Lee; and on executive compensation, employment, and benefits matters by partner Maj Vaseghi.
