Litigation Intelligence
The facts beyond the legal research.
Legal research defines the legal questions. Investigative intelligence helps establish the facts that counsel needs to assess them, across the relevant jurisdictions.

The scope may include party intelligence, corporate research, relationship mapping, public-record investigation, background research, asset intelligence and document analysis. Each workstream is tied to counsel’s factual questions.
An investigation may concern companies, individuals, documents or assets connected to Brazil even where the underlying dispute is governed by foreign law or heard elsewhere.
Read records with appropriate caution.
Public litigation records can reveal relationships, claims and procedural events, but their availability and completeness vary. A filing is not proof that an allegation is true. Similar names require identity resolution.
We distinguish documented events, statements made by a party, findings of a competent body and unresolved questions. Counsel assesses legal significance, relevance and potential use.
Source-traceable documentation.
Reporting identifies sources, dates, investigative limitations and the distinction between evidence and inference. Preservation requirements should be agreed with counsel before relevant material is collected.
Evidentiary admissibility, privilege and disclosure obligations are jurisdiction-specific. An investigative engagement does not automatically create attorney-client privilege or guarantee admissibility.
An extension of counsel’s fact-finding capacity.
Reporting and communications can remain counsel-facing. No cross-selling, no publicity about the matter and no contact with counsel’s client without authorization.
The mandate defines relevant parties, jurisdictions, sources, permitted contacts and escalation points. That clarity protects both the investigation and the professional relationship.
