LLM for Legal in Brazil

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a language model trained specifically for the Brazilian legal sector. Our product helps law firms quickly analyze contracts, case law, and other legal texts by providing accurate, context-aware summaries and insights. It aims to reduce manual reading and research time for legal teams in Brazil.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work primarily in São Paulo, Brazil, with a fully remote team. After YC, we plan to keep the company based in São Paulo but work remotely as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

São Paulo is the center of Brazil's legal market where our customers are. Being based here helps us stay close to users, understand their needs deeply, and develop the product accordingly. Remote work lets us hire talent anywhere in Brazil and elsewhere.
