Digital Litigation

Our strategic approach supports clients in a wide range of disputes, including cyber incidents, data class actions, data protection, and technology- and product-based solutions. The Digital Litigation practice is composed of three teams organized into service lines that work on a multidisciplinary basis: Scale, Special, and Standard.

Scale: Specialized in Digital Law matters, which today pose a significant challenge for organizations in Brazil due to the lack of digital literacy and the rise of digital fraud. These matters involve data protection, consumer, and digital issues. This team’s key differentiator is its data-driven management, focused on operational efficiency through the use of technology.

Standard: Offers the broadest range of products. The main areas are: online reputation protection, digital fraud investigation, sponsored links, predatory litigation, search and seizure of data, digital injunctive actions, and preservation of digital evidence.

Special: Focuses on the most complex and high-risk client matters and on cases involving authorities such as the National Data Protection Agency (ANPD) and others. The main areas are: unfair competition, ANPD enforcement proceedings, public civil actions, software violations, civil inquiries, and criminal matters.

Among our key work, we highlight:

  • Deep diving: immersion in the problem to understand root causes and to build insights for improving the defense strategy and preventing future litigation.
  • Out-of-court action: notices for the removal of unlawful content and reporting of defamation, misuse of name and image, and fake profiles; demands to users, companies, and internet providers; and drafting of agreements.
  • Preservation of electronic evidence: facilitation of Notarial Deeds (Ata Notarial) or issuance of content certificates through blockchain technology.
  • Administrative action: requests for the granting of authenticity seals.
  • Legal action (civil and labor), as plaintiff and for defense: accountability of perpetrators of cybercrimes and fraud; injunctive and indemnity claims for misuse of name and image, infringement of intellectual property and software, unauthorized access, and unfair competition; and evidence production, including search and seizure and forensic examination.
  • General legal advisory: unauthorized diversion of corporate documents, data, and information by employees and third parties.
  • Legal oversight of the work of technical assistants and forensic experts: assistance in cases of cloning of electronic equipment and preservation of the authenticity and integrity of evidence.
  • Administrative representation: arbitration and mediation proceedings, ranging from the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards to international disputes and jurisdictional conflicts.
  • Legal advisory in Corporate Law: work in arbitration, dispute prevention, and complex litigation; drafting and review of arbitration clauses; and acting as arbitrators in proceedings involving Digital Law and data protection matters.
