SPS-Barrilero partners with AI platform Mowly
SPS-Barrilero has adopted Mowly, a Portuguese artificial intelligence platform built for the legal sector, in a partnership that marks the firm’s full corporate integration of AI tools into its day-to-day legal work.
Mowly is built on a database drawn from more than ten Portuguese data sources — including legislation, case law, and legal doctrine — and is designed to give lawyers full control over how AI analyses, structures, and produces legal information. The platform claims accuracy levels of around 95% and efficiency gains of up to 80% in time saved, without compromising technical rigour, states the law firm.
Mowly was founded by Miguel Fidalgo and Francisco Costa, who developed the solution alongside legal sector professionals to address a gap in the market for AI tools tailored to Portuguese legal practice. The platform is currently expanding beyond Portugal into markets including Spain, Brazil, and Macau.
“The partnership with SPS-Barrilero shows that artificial intelligence in the legal sector has moved beyond being merely a future prospect to taking on a concrete role in the day-to-day practice of the most innovative firms. More than a technological upgrade, this is a decisive step towards the modernisation of legal practice in Portugal, making legal services more efficient, more strategic and better prepared for the challenges of a new era”, highlight Miguel Fidalgo and Francisco Costa.
For SPS-Barrilero, this commitment “represents not only a technological evolution, but also a structural change in the way legal services will be delivered going forward,” says Manuel Gibert Prates, partner.
SPS-Barrilero’s involvement with Mowly began at an early stage of the platform’s development, with the firm actively contributing to the refinement of features suited to legal practice needs. The integration has been applied across legal research, document automation, contract analysis, internal knowledge management, and the optimisation of repetitive tasks.
