Zinser Legal revolutionized their practice with Vincent.
Zinser Legal is a boutique law firm founded in 2006, focusing on advising, litigating, arbitrating, and managing crises for domestic and international clients, including individuals, companies, investment funds, and banking entities. The firm stands out for its pioneering approach to technology and artificial intelligence applied to law, complemented by expertise in intellectual property. This allows them to offer innovative and comprehensive solutions that not only resolve disputes but also assist clients with legal prevention and daily strategic decision-making, aligning risk management with business goals to maximize the value of their tangible and intangible assets.
A Pioneering Vision in Digital Law
Christian F. Zinser Cieslik, the firm’s founder and managing partner, is much more than a lawyer. His professional trajectory has turned him into a legal strategist who seeks to solve problems, not just litigate them.
“Through civil and commercial litigation and arbitration, I have learned the legal, economic, time, and human costs that conflicts generate,” explains Zinser. “That is why I consider myself more of a lawyer who seeks to solve problems, not just litigates them.”
This preventative philosophy led Zinser to drive the digital transformation of his firm, which included creating Clavis, a digital legal services platform aimed at democratizing access to justice, and acquiring a legal AI platform. However, they needed more than simple technological tools. “Our approach starts with one principle: technology must solve a real problem for the lawyer and the client,” Zinser affirms. The team needed a tool that provided tangible solutions to the problems they faced daily. Zinser was looking for a platform that would:
- Increase the depth of research;
- Demonstrate a notable improvement in argumentative consistency;
- Decrease client response time with accuracy and security.
Tangible Transformation in Real Time
The true value of Vincent was revealed during a particularly complex litigation, which tested its ability to face high-level challenges and demonstrate its worth in difficult situations. Zinser recounts that, in a case where their client consulted them with very little response time, the tool helped them prepare a detailed analysis and a series of client questionnaires in just a few hours—tasks that otherwise would have taken several days. Since then, Vincent’s value has been clear at Zinser Legal.
Vincent has been transformative in multiple areas:
Research and Analysis: “Vincent has allowed us to review documents with extraordinary precision and speed. We have also used it to develop accurate timelines in that same matter, which has been fundamental for organizing extensive and technical information.” Argument Development: “We employ Vincent to research and test legal arguments which, after validation, we incorporate into filings submitted to the courts. All this in a matter of hours, not days or weeks!” Operational Efficiency: The firm’s lawyers now spend “less time on repetitive tasks and more on designing strategies. AI has become an expert assistant that expands our capacity without needing to increase our structure.”Argument Development: “We employ Vincent to research and test legal arguments which, after validation, we incorporate into filings submitted to the courts.

Beyond the results, Vincent has proven that it meets all the criteria Zinser established during the selection process. Deeper Research: One of Vincent’s most valuable capabilities for Zinser Legal has been its access to vLex’s global database. “One of Vincent’s greatest contributions has been its ability to precisely link specific articles of law with related jurisprudential criteria and relevant doctrinal discussions,” Zinser explains.
This interconnection has allowed the firm to build stronger arguments: “In topics where Mexican case law has not yet developed definitive criteria, Vincent has enabled us to explore the doctrine and gain a more complete view of the legal context. That combination of regulations, case law, and legal theory could hardly be achieved with the same speed and depth through traditional means.”
Notable Improvement in the Quality of Legal Arguments: The impact of Vincent has not gone unnoticed by Zinser Legal’s clients. “Clients have noticed a significant improvement in both the depth of analysis and the speed of response,” Zinser states. “They recognize that our strategies are more grounded and comprehensive, and are backed by exhaustive research conducted in less time.”
Faster Responses to Clients: Beyond that, some clients even comment that they feel that “we think faster,” which directly reflects the technological integration into our processes. “The surprise usually comes from the speed with which we deliver analyses that, in any other context, would have required days instead of hours.”
