Warner's Matt Nelson Joins Keynote Panel at Harvey AI Forum

Appellate attorney discusses how artificial intelligence is strengthening cases, providing deep insights and developing the next generation of lawyers

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Matt Nelson, a partner at Warner Norcross + Judd LLP and a member of the firm's Appellate and Supreme Court practice, participated in the keynote presentation at the Harvey AI FORUM in Chicago, sharing how artificial intelligence is transforming high-stakes appellate work and helping develop the next generation of attorneys.

Nelson spoke on the mainstage with Harvey Chief Product Officer Anique Drumright. He highlighted how Warner is incorporating AI into its appellate practice, including arguments he presented before the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year.

Nelson discussed how AI tools, including Harvey, have changed the way he prepares for oral arguments and approaches complex legal records.

"AI tools like Harvey allow us, as litigators, to review and analyze trial transcripts, documents, records and amicus briefs in a fraction of the time it once took," Nelson said. "It's changed the way I prepare for every argument, including those before the Supreme Court. I had an aha moment when I realized how AI's ability to recognize patterns could help us more efficiently identify areas of interest and questions from judges on any panel.

"The bottom line is that we can leverage AI to prepare more thoroughly and make the strongest possible arguments on our clients' behalf," he said.

The firm's approach reflects a broader commitment to responsible innovation: combining emerging technology with experienced legal judgment to improve efficiency, strengthen advocacy and deliver greater value to clients.

Nelson is available for media interviews and deeper discussions on this topic.
