OVERVIEW:

Established in 1997, Mandaliti Advogados has consolidated its performance based on three principals: industry-oriented approach, application of state-of-the-art technology and paramount attention to client-attorney interpersonal relationships. These pillars allow the firm to become an extension of its clients’ legal departments while supporting long-term relationships, no matter which business sector they are in. Meanwhile, applied technology has improved efficiency, accuracy, and agility.

Over its 20-plus-years trajectory, Mandaliti Advogados has invested heavily in information management, process automation and cutting-edge technology for the legal market, which distinguishes the firm from more traditional law offices, particularly since the introduction of a tech-enabled service aimed at providing clients with a unique advantage in setting up their legal strategy. Jurimetrics consists of collecting and analyzing data, such as fact patterns and precedents, to predict the most likely result of litigation and thus be able to craft optimum legal strategies to litigate or reach a settlement. The firm continues to consistently combine tradition and innovation to bring reliability and advanced solutions in order to obtain superior and sharper results for its clients.

In Addition, high-end litigation and consultancy are among Mandaliti's expertise.
