As the largest artificial intelligence company in Latin America, we have a responsibility to measure our impact on the legal market. To do so, we present a study based on public data from Brazilian courts, interviews with lawyers and global benchmarks — and we thank Bain & Company for supporting the analyses that let us answer four questions.
How much does Brazil litigate?
The number of new lawsuits in Brazil had held steady for years and took a leap in 2022, the year ChatGPT was launched. It has kept growing ever since, reaching an all-time record of 41 million new lawsuits in 2025.

This volume has reached the companies operating in the country. Among the largest litigants, for example, the number of new civil lawsuits grew by 16% — twice the market average. In one case analyzed, a single company had set aside provisions for legal disputes equivalent to 159% of its annual profit — in other words, more than a full year of profit tied up in contingencies.
In practice, the spread of AI makes it easier to access the courts, both for those seeking legitimate compensation and for abusive litigants, who use the justice system to obtain undue advantages.

Mass litigation law firms make up a very small slice of the Brazilian legal profession, one that has historically been undervalued compared with other areas of law, accounting for 1.5% to 3% of the 1.5 million lawyers in the country. On top of that, these firms operate on a scale model, with a disproportionate volume of cases, thin margins and tight deadlines.
Volume is the main pain point of mass litigation
The day-to-day work of mass litigation lawyers is marked by repetitive, mechanical and standardized tasks, with little room for in-depth interpretation, data analysis or tailored defenses.
Two out of three mass litigation lawyers point to volume as the main challenge of their operation.

What is AI's impact
on the number
of jobs?
For a long time, the natural reaction to the adoption of artificial intelligence was to associate it with the replacement of human work. The data, however, point in another direction. Since 2018, the number of lawyers at mass litigation firms has grown 3% a year, keeping pace with the rise in litigation in the country, which has grown even faster.

Across the legal sector as a whole, the number of lawyers keeps growing at a steady pace, both in Brazil and in countries further along in AI adoption. In the United Kingdom and in France, for example, the number of professionals rose by 3% and 2%, respectively.
