How Mid-Sized European Law Firms Redefine Growth With :Harvey:
Mid-sized firms across Europe are using Harvey to work faster, scale knowledge, and deliver higher-impact client service.
What used to be the advantage of scale — faster turnaround, deeper resourcing, broader insight — is now the baseline expectation for legal service. Rather than growing headcount, mid-sized firms across Europe are meeting that demand by rethinking how work gets done.
They’re using Harvey to streamline time-intensive work, centralize institutional knowledge, and free lawyers to focus on high-value judgment and client strategy. These firms span geographies, practice areas, and sizes, but they share a common approach: turn efficiency into a competitive advantage, deliver stronger client outcomes, and operate with the speed and sophistication typically associated with larger firms.
pswp: Amplifying Specialized Expertise With AI
For pswp, a 27-lawyer firm in Germany specializing in regulatory, environmental, and AI law, precision and customization define its client work. Each matter requires tailored analysis, carefully constructed arguments, and highly specific deliverables.
As regulatory complexity increased, the firm needed a way to move faster without compromising that standard. Harvey now supports pswp with custom Vault workflows built for regulatory proceedings, helping lawyers synthesize complex materials, refine arguments, and produce client-ready work more efficiently. Since it’s integrated into tools like Word and Outlook and paired with shared knowledge resources, Harvey fits naturally into the firm’s day-to-day practice.
The shift is most visible in how lawyers spend their time. Junior associates focus more on substantive legal analysis and strategic discussions, rather than mechanical tasks. Partners have greater capacity to guide clients, anticipate risks, and deliver proactive advice.
“The time reclaimed enables us to be more present for our clients — better understanding the broader context, further anticipating future challenges, and offering more proactive guidance.”
Dr. Frederic Geber
Partner at pswp
For a firm that advises on AI and emerging regulation, adopting Harvey is a natural extension of its expertise — demonstrating how technology can strengthen legal judgment and enhance client service.
B. Cremades & Asociados: Expanding Capacity Without Expanding Teams
Spanish arbitration firm B. Cremades & Asociados uses Harvey to streamline document-heavy workflows and operate with the efficiency of a much larger firm. By automating tasks like document review, data analysis, and case preparation, lawyers can focus on case strategy, advocacy, and client preparation.
As a result, B. Cremades & Asociados reports a 90% efficiency boost in critical document review tasks and saves an average of seven hours per lawyer each week. This allows the team to move faster across matters while maintaining the depth and precision required for complex arbitration work.
Harvey also helps increase the firm’s capacity without adding headcount. In one arbitration matter, it analyzed thousands of invoices, converted currencies, and calculated interest in minutes — a task that would have taken hours manually. In a separate criminal defense case, Harvey reviewed an extensive court file and mapped a company’s structure and ultimate beneficial owner, which freed up an associate from what would have been a full weekend of work.
With less time spent on manual work, the firm can take on more matters, respond faster to clients, and sustain the level of quality expected in complex arbitration.
Giliberti Triscornia: Moving From Question to Answer at Deal Speed
Giliberti Triscornia, an M&A-focused firm in Milan, uses Harvey to quickly surface insights buried across years of deal documents — turning complex client questions into clear, precedent-backed answers in minutes. Lawyers can analyze multiple transactions at once, identify relevant provisions, and generate structured outputs without hours of manual review. In one instance, a partner scanned 15 takeover bid documents simultaneously and received a source-linked answer almost immediately.
This is helping the firm reclaim 7–10 hours per week of senior lawyer time, allowing partners to focus on higher-value work like structuring deals, assessing risk, and advising clients more strategically. Teams are also able to move faster across multiple deal workstreams, responding to client questions with greater speed and precision.
“[With Harvey,] I think more thoroughly about clients' needs and I have more time for business development — deeper conversations that were more difficult before.”
Giuseppe Cadel
Partner, M&A and Growth Investments at Giliberti Triscornia
By reducing the time spent searching for information, Giliberti Triscornia can stay closer to clients, delivering faster answers, clearer guidance, and more impactful advice throughout the lifecycle of a deal.
Lektou: Scaling Cross-Border Complexity
Lektou operates across Portugal, Macau, and mainland China, where legal work often spans jurisdictions, languages, and regulatory regimes. Managing that complexity, especially under tight timelines, has traditionally required significant manual effort across due diligence, translation, and client communications.
Harvey enables the firm to move through that complexity more efficiently. Lawyers use it to analyze large volumes of contracts and regulatory filings across multiple languages, surface key risks, and structure findings quickly. In one cross-border acquisition, the team reviewed thousands of documents in Portuguese, Chinese, and English, delivering clear, business-focused advice under tight deadlines.
The platform also supports multilingual workflows more broadly, generating high-quality first drafts of translations and client communications. This reduces the time spent on coordination and rework, particularly in matters where speed and clarity are critical.
“Harvey isn’t just an efficiency tool — it’s a force multiplier. It enables our lawyers to focus on what matters most: delivering strategic, high-quality counsel.”
Pedro Cortés
Managing Partner at Lektou
Attorneys report saving more than seven hours per week, and the firm is able to take on more sophisticated cross-border matters while maintaining responsiveness and consistency across offices. For Lektou, efficiency gains translate directly into growth, supporting a more scalable model for delivering high-value, international legal work.
Filip & Company: Centralizing Firm Knowledge for Smarter Workflows
Romania-based law firm Filip & Company uses Harvey to make its institutional knowledge more accessible and actionable across the firm. Critical insights that were once spread across teams, documents, and past matters are now centralized and easy to apply in daily work.
Using Harvey Vault, the firm organized more than 100,000 documents into searchable, reusable resources, giving lawyers immediate access to firmwide expertise across practice areas. This knowledge is embedded directly into workflows, from contract analysis to litigation strategy, helping teams move faster and with greater consistency.
The rollout was structured and firmwide, with training sessions and continuous feedback loops to drive adoption. As a result, Harvey is now integrated into how teams work across M&A, litigation, and corporate matters. Lawyers save up to five hours per week, while teams collaborate more effectively, move quickly across complex matters, and deliver more consistent, high-quality work.
For Filip & Company, Harvey is helping turn knowledge into a true strategic advantage, strengthening both internal collaboration and client outcomes.
