AI solutions – We foster an innovative legal culture that combines technological training, procedures and resources. We launched CELIA (Cuatrecasas Expert Legal AI), a project based on large language models (LLM), using OpenAI and GPT-4 technology. This encompasses all our AI-related projects, such as application development, digital training, adoption encouragement, market monitoring, pilot testing, and technical support.

These initiatives aim to bridge gaps, enrich knowledge flow, and foster synergies in the business and legal communities.
