THE JOURNEY

The Journey

I've been in Brazilian courts for over 15 years. I've seen companies — many of them foreign — lose cases they could have won. Not because they acted in bad faith, but because they couldn't prove they were compliant.

The pattern was always the same: missing documents, poorly structured contracts, no evidence of contractor autonomy. By the time they reached the courtroom, it was too late.

I kept thinking: these problems are preventable. If only someone had helped them get it right from the start.

So I learned to code. I combined 15 years of legal experience with software development skills and built the tools I wished existed when I was on the other side — watching companies lose cases they shouldn't have lost.

Figueiredo Legal isn't just a law firm. It's everything I learned in the courtroom, turned into infrastructure that protects you before problems start.

THE ORIGIN

Why I Built This

01

Saw the Problem

Foreign companies had two options: expensive Big Law or risky DIY. Neither worked. There had to be a better way.

02

Learned to Build

I already had 15 years of courtroom experience. So I learned to code and earned my CS50 from Harvard — to build what the market was missing.

03

Created the Solution

Legal protection that's accessible, transparent, and actually prevents problems — not just reacts to them.

PHILOSOPHY

My Approach

Prevention First

The best lawsuit is the one that never happens. I focus on getting it right from day one.

Documentation Obsessed

In litigation, the party that controls the evidence wins. If it's not documented, it didn't happen.

Accessible & Transparent

No $500/hour surprises. No legal jargon walls. You always know where you stand.
