About Bruchou & Funes de Rioja

​​Bruchou & Funes de Rioja is one of Argentina’s leading law firms, delivering high-value legal services across all the areas of practice required for doing business in Argentina. Its multidisciplinary approach ensures clients receive sophisticated and expert legal guidance tailored to modern business dynamics.

Seeing Generative AI’s potential, the firm sought a solution that would free up its lawyers to focus on high-value work that sets the elite legal teams apart.

Opportunity

As the pace and complexity of legal work accelerated, Bruchou & Funes de Rioja faced a growing challenge: lawyers were spending too much time on research, regulatory tracking, and document analysis—essential tasks, but manual processes that pulled focus from high-value work.

"Harvey is a tool that complements and enhances our professional capabilities with the precision and efficiency of AI and the guarantee of confidentiality in all interactions. Our lawyers continue to be the drivers of each case and project, exercising their professional judgment with the confidence of having a powerful tool at their disposal” explained Rodrigo Funes de Rioja.

Recognizing the potential of Generative AI, the firm saw an opportunity to alleviate the burden of time-consuming repetitive and routine day-to-day tasks and empower attorneys to instead focus on deeper legal analysis and strategic problem-solving.

Solution

Bruchou & Funes de Rioja has seamlessly integrated Harvey into its operations, processes and workflows equipping attorneys with immediate support for a wide range of daily tasks, including:

  • Analyzing and extracting relevant data from lengthy documents
  • Conducting document reviews and verifications
  • Translating content into multiple languages
  • Preparing summaries and drafts
  • Comparing regulations and rulings
  • Supporting brainstorming on arguments and strategies

Partners and associates across the firm quickly embraced Harvey’s intuitive platform, leading to broad adoption and effective use. Today, Harvey is driving efficiency, quality, and impact for the firm. Key benefits include:

  • Faster, more strategic due diligence – allowing attorneys to prioritize risk assessment and deal strategy.
  • Higher-quality, more consistent drafting – ensuring precision, consistency, and speed under tight deadlines.
  • Seamless cross-border support – expediting translations and comparative legal analysis for international transactions.

"Before Harvey, much of my time was dedicated to drafting. Now, I can dedicate more resources to exploring different ideas and options to strengthen my client's position," said Atenas Caramuto, Associate.

Enhancing Due Diligence

Attorneys leverage Harvey to accelerate due diligence, automating hours of document review by categorizing documents, identifying key risks, and analyzing terms. “In a recent transaction, Harvey surfaced critical insights, freeing our team from hours of manual review to focus on negotiation strategy,” highlighted Carolina de Felipe, Associate.

In cross-border transactions, Harvey has also been instrumental in translating and summarizing foreign legal texts, helping attorneys focus more on structuring deals.

Sharpening Legal Drafting

Harvey has become essential for legal drafting, enabling attorneys at the firm to produce first drafts of contracts, policies, and reports in minutes, instead of hours. In governance matters, where timely insights and accuracy are critical, Harvey has significantly improved turnaround times and elevated the quality of work product.

"One of the most impactful ways Harvey has transformed our workflow is by summarizing complex rulings," shared Julieta Yadikian, Associate. "After significant court decisions, I use Harvey to quickly generate a concise summary, which we then communicate to clients."
