The OAB São Paulo chapter is suing Brazilian AI company Enter AI, described in the report as the country’s first artificial intelligence unicorn. Enter AI provides legal technology that helps law firms and corporate legal departments draft petitions, research past cases, and develop defense strategies. The OAB wants the tool restricted to law firms, arguing that use by companies’ internal departments could replace lawyers and amount to unauthorized practice of law. Enter AI says its product is also used alongside the law firms representing those companies, and disputes the harmful effect alleged by the OAB.

00:01 Yeah, it’s a lawsuit that, as you mentioned, the Brazilian Bar Association, the OAB São Paulo chapter , is filing against Enter AI, a Brazilian artificial intelligence company. It is the first Brazilian unicorn. Unicorns are those companies that are valued at over 1 billion dollars. The first Brazilian artificial intelligence unicorn, actually. So, it is one of those legal tech companies that provide artificial intelligence tools for law firms or corporate legal departments. This makes it easier to

00:36 draft petitions and research jurisprudence, which are those past cases, and it allows for developing better strategies for these companies ’ defense. And this AI has major clients like Latam, Nubank, and Itaú, which are companies that deal with mass litigation, meaning many similar lawsuits filed against the company, so their defense ends up being standardized as well, very similar. So, for that, artificial intelligence is a

What the OAB is requesting is that the tool be restricted to law firms, so that only firm lawyers can use these tools, and not the internal departments of these companies, which, in the OAB’s view, would be replacing the work of a lawyer with this platform, this artificial intelligence agent. The company

01:44 provides this product to these large corporations, but they also use this tool alongside the law firms that represent them. So what the company claims is that there wouldn’t be this negative, harmful effect that the OAB perceives in their work. The OAB claims and attributes this AI agent to the unauthorized practice of law, as if the AI were replacing lawyers.
