Melo Alves integrates AI into its legal practice

Melo Alves has adopted Artificial Intelligence to optimize knowledge management and legal research. The solution chosen was Affine, a platform developed by Portuguese startup NeuralShift. “Integrating public sources with our internal documents proved particularly valuable, helping us find critical information for drafting pleadings and appeals that we might otherwise have missed. With Affine we have been able not only to be more efficient in essential tasks such as research, but also to raise the quality of the content produced, guaranteeing a real competitive advantage”, states Tiago Melo Alves, managing partner.

“As the first boutique specialising in criminal litigation that we have worked with, Melo Alves has presented us with unique challenges, such as indexing and organising the data relating to the cases being sponsored. The AI-based solutions were received with the full confidence and innovative vision of Melo Alves’ founding partners, which was crucial in overcoming the obstacles to their adoption. Collaboration has been key to improving Affine, adapting it to criminal law and making it an even more robust tool”, says Gonçalo Oliveira, co-founder of NeuralShift.
