Top 10 AI Tools Every Legal Professional in Peru Should Know in 2025

AI matters for legal professionals in Peru in 2025 because global trends have turned abstract promise into measurable gains: surveys show many lawyers saving 1–5 hours per week and using generative AI for drafting, research and firm operations, while adoption at the firm level still varies widely - leaving a strategic gap that can decide who competes and who falls behind.

Peruvian firms that pair tool pilots with governance, training and vendor due diligence can harvest efficiency without courting regulatory or ethical risk; see the detailed adoption and use patterns in the Legal Industry Report 2025.

For practitioners ready to move from curiosity to control, structured upskilling such as the AI Essentials for Work bootcamp focuses on prompts, practical workflows and governance - practical steps that turn global momentum into local advantage.

This transformation is happening now.

Methodology: the Top 10 list was built for practical use in Peru by weighing three non‑negotiable priorities drawn from industry guidance: airtight security and data‑handling (SOC 2/HIPAA standards and prompt retention policies), defensible governance and training, and clear task fit with measurable pilots.

Security and vendor vetting came first - tools had to show enterprise controls and a commitment not to ingest client data - echoing the five evaluation criteria many firms now use (Top 5 Criteria for Evaluating Secure Legal AI Platforms for Law Firms) and the practical safeguards recommended for law firms in the AI era (Best Practices for Securing Law Firm Data in the AI Era).

Methodology also required governance: written AI policies, role‑based approvals, vendor due diligence and periodic audits as outlined in firm‑policy guides, plus mandatory upskilling so Peruvian teams can supervise outputs responsibly.

Finally, every shortlisted tool had to show clear ROI in small Peruvian pilots - trackable metrics such as hours saved and error rates, and integration potential with existing systems - because adoption without measurable outcomes is just tech for tech's sake (Run AI Pilots with Measurable Metrics for Legal Teams in Peru).

CoCounsel (formerly Casetext) brings a lawyer‑focused generative AI to Peruvian practice by combining GPT‑4 power with Thomson Reuters' Westlaw and Practical Law content to speed research, drafting and complex document review - handy when a Lima litigation team must turn months of discovery into a clear case story.

Built for end‑to‑end workflows, CoCounsel's Deep Research and agentic workflows can generate memos, extract contract clauses at scale, and even assemble an editable chronicle with its Timeline feature, so busy counsels trade tedious reading for strategic thinking; see CoCounsel legal AI capabilities and agentic workflows for professional use.

For firms worried about language, the user guide notes CoCounsel can read and write in any language and offers translation on request, a practical plus for Spanish‑language filings and client work in Peru.

Thomson Reuters customer data reports measurable gains - 2.6x faster on document review and drafting and 85% of users finding more key information - while independent analyses stress the need for verified outputs and human review.

For Peruvian teams, CoCounsel can be a way to run tight, auditable pilots that convert hours saved into better client strategy rather than just faster drafts; learn more about the CoCounsel Timeline feature.

Capability	Metric / Note
Document review & contract drafting	2.6x faster (Thomson Reuters customer data, 2024)
Research quality	85% of users find more key information (Thomson Reuters)
Language support	Reads/writes any language; translation available on request (user guide)

“A task that would previously have taken an hour was completed in five minutes or less.” - Jarret Colemen

ChatGPT (OpenAI) is best thought of as a flexible, general‑purpose drafting and research assistant that Peruvian legal teams can use to generate first drafts, summarize complex cases, and frame focused research questions in Spanish or English - often producing documents

in a matter of seconds

that would otherwise take much longer to draft.

Used responsibly, it speeds routine work (initial briefs, client updates, discovery outlines) and helps lawyers translate legalese into plain language for clients, but it's not a substitute for jurisdictional expertise: models can hallucinate, miss recent rulings, or give incomplete citations, so every output needs verification and local legal review.

Practical safeguards for Peru include anonymizing client facts, crafting jurisdiction‑specific prompts, and pairing ChatGPT use with documented workflows and pilot metrics; see Clio primer on ChatGPT prompts for lawyers for concrete prompt examples and a legal‑focused GPT, and consult Centerbase guidance on verification, ethics and quality control for AI in legal practice.

For teams ready to experiment, start with small, measurable pilots (time saved, revision cycles) to prove value while preserving confidentiality and professional responsibility.

Harvey AI positions itself as an enterprise “legal copilot” that Peruvian firms can use to turn thousands of client contracts and case files into searchable, auditable knowledge - think a secure Vault that ingests up to 10,000 documents per project and a Review Table that surfaces key fields so teams spend less time hunting and more time advising.

Built with domain‑specific models, multi‑model agentic workflows and citation‑backed research, Harvey can draft, analyze and spot risks across transactional, compliance and litigation work in Spanish and other languages, and it integrates with Microsoft Azure and common DMS/CLM systems to fit existing firm tech stacks; explore Harvey's product overview for details on Knowledge, Vault and Workflows at Harvey AI product overview.

For Peruvian in‑house teams and boutiques alike, the practical path is small, governed pilots with measurable metrics (hours saved, error rates) paired with an AI governance checklist so confidentiality, privilege and data residency stay protected - start by running focused pilots to prove value before scale.

Diligen-style, ML-powered contract review tools turn the slog of clause-hunting into a fast, consistent workflow that's especially useful for Peruvian firms juggling Spanish‑language deals and cross‑border portfolios: modern Natural Language Processing (NLP) can extract parties, dates, obligations and clause types, flag non‑standard terms and surface renewals or risky indemnities at machine speed, so teams swap repetitive scanning for strategic negotiation (see how clause extraction works in practice at LexCheck clause extraction NLP explanation).

These platforms combine NLP, ML and human‑in‑the‑loop validation to cut manual review time dramatically - studies show AI can reduce review time by up to 50% and, in some vendor reports, drive accuracy gains approaching the high‑90s - turning weeks of due diligence into near‑instant insights (ContractPodAI contract data extraction guide; Callidus Legal AI contract analysis accuracy improvements).

For Peruvian legal teams, the sensible play is a small, governed pilot with clear KPIs (hours saved, error rates, integration with CLM) so the tool becomes a reliable second pair of eyes - one that never misses a renewal buried on page 97.

Peruvian legal professionals should treat 2025 as the year to move from curiosity to controlled adoption: the new regulatory framework around Law 31814 - now reflected in Supreme Decree No.

115-2025-PCM - pairs a risk-based approach and mandatory human oversight with concrete private‑sector obligations (internal AI policies, traceability and impact documentation), so start with small, governed pilots that measure hours saved, error rates and citation accuracy while preserving client confidentiality; review the official regulations summary at Supreme Decree No. 115-2025-PCM (Lexology summary) and the Law 31814 context to map sector timelines.

Practical steps: classify systems by risk, run Data Protection Impact Assessments where required, mandate human sign‑offs on critical outputs, and retain impact records for the regulator's review; invest in prompt‑writing and oversight skills so teams can validate outputs reliably - practical upskilling such as the AI Essentials for Work bootcamp registration (Nucamp) teaches the prompts, governance checklists and pilot design lawyers need.

Think of compliance and productivity as twin goals: an auditable, three‑year trail plus measurable pilots will protect clients, satisfy regulators, and free time for higher‑value legal strategy.

Item	Key detail
Entry into force	Regulations effective 90 working days after publication (Jan 2026)
Private sector timelines	Staggered 1–4 year compliance windows by sector (health, finance faster)
Core obligations	Internal AI policies, human oversight for high‑risk systems, impact records retained ≥3 years
