# AI for law firms

**The work that fills the day isn't always the work the client pays for.** The hours spent reviewing, researching and drafting don't always make it onto the invoice, and they're the same hours that cap how much work the firm can take on. Meanwhile, on the other side of the table, corporate legal departments have already changed the way they work.

We pinpoint where AI makes sense in your operations, the impact it can have and where to start, through an analysis tailored to your business.

This service is valued at USD 500. If you move forward with us on the implementation, it's fully credited toward the project. We only charge for it if, after seeing your Map, you decide not to pursue any of the opportunities.

## The landscape for law firms and notaries

- 75% of corporate legal departments in Argentina already use AI regularly. In 2023 it was 11%. (Marval O'Farrell Mairal — Reporte sobre los Departamentos Legales de Argentina 2025, https://www.marval.com/Landing/reporte-sobre-los-departamentos-legales-de-argentina-2025-84?lang=es)
- 90% less time to identify the grounds for an appeal: from 25 minutes down to 2.5. As measured by the Argentine judiciary. (Ministerio de Justicia — Programa piloto de IA generativa en la Justicia argentina, https://justicia.ar/novedades/118/2025/04/resultados-preliminares-del-programa-de-ia)
- 22% of organizations have a visible AI strategy today. The rest use it ad hoc, without knowing what to expect. (Thomson Reuters — Futuro de los Profesionales 2025, https://www.thomsonreuters.com.ar/es/soluciones-legales/biblioteca-de-contenidos/informe-el-futuro-de-los-profesionales.html)

- **Document review that never reaches the invoice**: Reading and comparing long documents consumes professional time that is rarely billed in full.
- **Research that comes before any advice**: Tracking down the right precedent or the firm's own past work holds up the very work that does get billed.
- **Briefs drafted from scratch, again**: Near-identical clauses and briefs get rewritten case after case, without building on what the firm has already solved.
- **Deadlines that depend on someone remembering**: Tracking due dates by hand turns an administrative slip into a professional liability problem.

## Where to look for opportunities first

We place each initiative by how much impact it can have and how much effort implementing it takes.

- Assisted review of documents and contracts (Quick wins)
- Internal search across case files and precedents (Quick wins)
- First drafts of briefs and standard clauses (Quick wins)
- Case and document summaries (Complements)
- Automated deadline tracking (Differentiators)
- Firm-wide knowledge base (Later on)

## Your AI Opportunity Map

We analyze one process at your firm and show you which document work AI can take over (review, research, repetitive drafting), how many hours your team gets back, and where to start.

- **The process as it actually works today**: We map how your team really works, with its steps, delays and friction points.
- **Where applying AI makes sense — and where it doesn't**: We separate the real opportunities from the ones that only sound good, so you don't spend budget on what generates no impact.
- **Impact and effort matrix**: Every opportunity placed by how much it moves the business and how much it costs to implement.
- **An estimate of the possible benefit**: The hours, errors or revenue at stake, with the assumptions in plain sight so you can challenge them.
- **A concrete recommendation on where to start**: One first opportunity to get moving on, not a generic list of good intentions.

## From application to Map, in four steps

1. **You apply**: You answer a few questions so we can understand and assess your company.
2. **We talk**: We start with a video call with an AI expert.
3. **We analyze the process**: We pick where it makes the most sense to look for opportunities.
4. **You get your Map**: Our first delivery estimate is 3 business days.

## The same team that finds the opportunity builds it and keeps it running

We're a boutique software company from Argentina, with over 9 years of experience building software for well-known companies.

## Frequently asked questions

**How long does it take?**
It starts with a consulting meeting over video call, where we map out the process and define the focus of the analysis. If the process calls for it, we add a second meeting to validate details. The Map arrives in about 3 business days from the first meeting.

**Is it in person?**
No. Every meeting is over video call, whether your company is in Argentina, Mexico or anywhere else: we schedule quickly and with no travel involved.

**Do I have to prepare anything?**
Nothing. The only thing we ask is that someone who can make the decision joins the first meeting, so we don't have to repeat the conversation later on. If we then need to get into the operational detail, we bring in whoever knows the process day to day.

**How long until we see results?**
The first improvements usually show up within weeks, because we start with a narrow process — reviewing one type of document, searching the firm's archive — rather than replacing your case management system. The Map sets which one comes first, based on the volume the firm handles.

**What about professional privilege and our clients' information?**
It's the first thing we design around. We define which data leaves the firm and which doesn't, minimizing sensitive information and using models that don't train on your data — the same safeguards set out in the Buenos Aires bar association's guidance. The duty of confidentiality under section 156 of the Criminal Code and Law 23.187 stays with the lawyer, and the solution is built to help meet it.

**Does my company have to be large?**
No. What matters isn't the size of the company but that there is a process with enough volume — many transactions, queries or repetitive documents — for automating part of it to have a real, measurable impact.

**What happens afterwards?**
The Map is your company's, whether you use it with us or not. If you decide to move forward, the same team that built it can build the solution and support you over time. If you'd rather wait or evaluate another option, the Map is still yours.

**Why is it free? (while the promotion is running)**
We believe it's the simplest way to show how we work before asking you to invest in a project. This free-of-charge offer has an end date.

**Does it work with the system we already use?**
Yes. We work with what the firm already has: Lex-Doctor, MetaJurídico or another case manager, the federal judiciary portal and provincial filing desks, or simply Word, Excel and Drive. There's nothing to migrate: the AI works on top of the case files and templates the firm already uses every day.

**Does this replace the lawyer's judgment?**
No, and no serious approach frames it that way. The AI does the groundwork: it finds, summarizes, compares and leaves a draft. The decisions, the strategy and the signature stay with the lawyer, who is also the one held accountable. What changes is the starting point: a working draft instead of a blank page.

**When is the consultation charged? (when no promotion is running)**
Only if, after seeing your Map, you decide not to pursue any of the opportunities we found. If you move forward with us on implementing one, we credit the full cost of the Map toward that project.
