Portobello Capital, a private equity firm, is delaying the sale of its 76% stake in Madrid-based legal-tech firm Legálitas because prospective investors are concerned that artificial intelligence will disrupt the legal services sector. The firm had begun talks with potential buyers earlier this year, aiming to start receiving bids by next month, but has now relaxed that timeline. The sources, who requested anonymity, said the delay stems from AI‑related angst among investors.
