Antas da Cunha Ecija adopts Harvey and accelerates AI strategy
Antas da Cunha Ecija has adopted AI tool Harvey, following a 60-day pilot involving 15 champions that demonstrated significant gains in efficiency and quality, with a 90% recommendation rate for full adoption of the tool. The Ecija network is also adopting Harvey globally, not only in Spain but also in Latin America.
During the pilot, participating lawyers recorded daily usage of over 80%, reflecting consistent adoption across use cases such as legal research, document analysis, drafting opinions and memos, structuring ideas, translation, transcription and summarization, and clause drafting.
The decision to proceed with a phased adoption integrates the January rollout plan, starting with 50 Harvey licenses, with the expectation of achieving full adoption by year-end. This rollout will be supported by continuous training programs, support, and dissemination of use cases, ensuring scalability and sustainable utilization, states the law firm.
In parallel, the firm will continue evaluating and testing other tools, as well as developing some proprietary AI apps and agents, to avoid technological dependence and ensure the optimal combination of capabilities in service of clients.
AI policy
Harvey’s adoption is framed within a proprietary governance and risk management model, including an AI Policy, training initiatives, an AI Oversight Committee, and a dedicated Innovation and AI Officer, ensuring adequate controls over confidentiality, traceability, accountability, and quality. “The firm prioritise cultural alignment, and value continuous feedback to the technology partner to improve results and ensure scalability, with maximum rigour and security”, states Antas da Cunha Ecija.
According to Fernando Antas da Cunha (pictured), managing partner: “Antas da Cunha Ecija will continue to deepen its approach to responsible AI, focused on quality through human oversight, talent development, and creating a competitive advantage with immediate and sustainable operational ROI, within a controlled risk governance framework.”
