Case Study: Portolano Cavallo achieves 33% time savings in cross-border M&A due diligence with Luminance

Portolano Cavallo - Customer Case Study

Portolano Cavallo is a top-tier Italian law firm specializing in litigation, M&A, venture capital and IP that frequently handles transnational deals. Faced with a cross-jurisdictional M&A due diligence project of around 1,000 documents in Italian, English, French and German, the firm deployed Luminance’s language-agnostic AI document-processing platform to speed multilingual review and manage complex, time-sensitive workflows.

Luminance’s pattern-recognition technology instantly clustered similar documents across languages, flagged anomalous wording, and allowed users to tag a clause to find all similar instances, presenting the data room intuitively for collaborative review. As a result, Portolano Cavallo reported a 33% time saving within the first few days (which has continued to grow), enabling lawyers to focus on higher-value analysis, take on larger or tighter-schedule deals, and expand their international M&A offering.
