Legau + Antas da Cunha ECIJA
How Antas da Cunha ECIJA uses Legau to strengthen lawyers' capacity and simplify processes, while ensuring security and confidentiality.
Antas da Cunha ECIJA is a fast-growing firm with 115 lawyers, combining traditional legal expertise with technology to deliver an excellent service.
In 2022 it received the award for most innovative law firm in Europe outside the United Kingdom; innovation is nothing new to it.
The challenge
In a context of rapid growth, Antas da Cunha ECIJA faced the challenge of managing rising costs without compromising the quality of its legal services.
The goal was twofold: increase revenue per lawyer and improve the realisation rate, avoiding unnecessary spend.
Adoption
Legau was designed to improve how legal professionals draft, review and reuse knowledge within Word and Outlook. Integrated into the daily workflow and the document management system (iManage), it brought efficiency without disrupting established processes.
During rollout, Legau was well received by lawyers. The customer success team ensured a smooth adoption, with training and support tailored to the firm's context.
“Legau is a very useful and easy-to-use tool. Intuitive. Every time I used it, it returned good results and helped me “unblock” many situations, especially when creating clauses.
Results
Satisfaction came in at 8 out of 10, indicating high acceptance and ease with the interface and features.
Lawyers reported saving 20.7% of their time per person. 63% recorded at least 20% time savings on daily tasks and 25% reported gains of at least 30%. All users said Legau was essential in the research, preparation and review of legal documents.
“It let me speed up processes that used to take a long time and, in a single window, access case law, legal scholarship and archived knowledge to meet clients' needs.
Operational improvement
All users said Legau was essential in simplifying the research, preparation and review of legal documents.
“Legau is very easy to use and I got quick and effective answers to my challenges.
Financial impact
Although the financial data remains confidential, the time saved and the operational improvements point to a potential increase in revenue per lawyer and a better realisation rate.
Security and confidentiality
For law firms, information security and confidentiality are critical. Legau has put robust infrastructure and protocols in place to keep client information secure and private.
Client information is not used to train the AI assistant.
“We believe the partnership with Legau will be decisive in streamlining our operations. It is not just about the time saved, but the quality of that time. Integrating Legau into daily routines has let our lawyers focus on strategic legal work, which is the essence of our growth and of client satisfaction.”
