Repsol cuts contract clause review time 90% with Harvey AI

Repsol, a global multi-energy company, wanted to lead its legal department's digital transformation and empower its more than 200 lawyers to work more strategically. Under General Counsel Pablo Blanco, the company's Protea Project set out to build "unbeatable lawyers" through cutting-edge technology, and the team evaluated several AI platforms to find one that could deliver faster, higher-quality legal advice.

Repsol selected Harvey as its AI platform after it consistently outperformed competitors in rigorous testing. Harvey was rolled out across the legal department and became deeply integrated into daily workflows, supporting contract review, litigation preparation, and negotiation strategy.

The implementation reached 96% adoption across the legal department, with each lawyer saving 4-6 hours per week. Contract clause review times fell 90%, while litigation preparation accelerated and negotiation strategies improved, freeing lawyers to reinvest time into high-value strategic work.

• Near-total (96%) adoption shows how deeply embedding AI into daily legal workflows drives real usage, not just pilot activity.
• Automating repetitive work like contract clause review frees senior lawyers for strategic, higher-value tasks.
