Paris, 18 April 2024 – Lefebvre Sarrut, the European leader in legal and tax knowledge, and a pioneer in AI for the legal sector, has signed a strategic agreement with PwC Tax & Legal Spain.

This strategic alliance will facilitate the integration of one of the most potent generative AI tools in the legal world with the most extensive documentary information base on the Spanish market.
Olivier Campenon, CEO of Lefebvre Sarrut, said, “This strategic agreement aligns with our purpose, which is to enable knowledge for a fairer, more efficient, and sustainable society. Our leadership in this field is not by chance: as an AI -driven company, Lefebvre Sarrut offers unique content coupled with exceptional knowledge search technology. This allows us to propose services like AI Access, which forms part of our group’s portfolio of solutions.”
According to Joaquin Latorre, Partner in charge of PwC Tax & Legal Spain, “Generative AI will open up unprecedented possibilities and is already transforming the way our professionals and clients work. We’ve been conducting internal testing and analysing support cases for our own everyday work for the past few months. Now, we’re taking a step further: this agreement revolutionizes the Spanish market by combining the AI analysis capabilities of PwC’s custom version of the Harvey AI platform with the most comprehensive tax and legal content from Lefebvre, the Spanish brand of the European group Lefebvre Sarrut, and the knowledge and experience of our lawyers and tax advisors.”
