Repsol completes a mid-sized M&A matter in-house against €200,000 quotes

On October 22, 2026, Harvey reported that Repsol’s legal team completed a mid-sized M&A transaction internally using its platform after outside-counsel quotes averaged €200,000. The vendor-authored account does not disclose the deal scope, internal labor, review cost or counterfactual result, so the savings figure should not be treated as a general benchmark. It nevertheless shows how clients may replace an entire matter, not just negotiate a discount, when the external offer is difficult to unbundle. Relationship teams should respond with modular diligence, exception review and closing support that lets clients buy judgment without repurchasing work they can perform internally.
