Solution for M&A and due diligence
Judicial due diligence without spreadsheets and without surprises at closing
Cross-check active cases, labor liabilities, and litigation history of the target + shareholders + controllers in minutes. A consolidated report ready to attach to the red flags memo.
What slows an M&A due diligence today
Manual mapping takes weeks
A target with 15 controllers and 3 subsidiaries means manual mapping of 50+ CPFs/CNPJs across 5-10 courts each. That's 1-2 weeks of paralegal work just on research.
Labor liability shows up at closing
Brazilian labor law (Súmula 331) and subsidiary liability make labor claims a late-stage red flag. Without systematic checks across TRTs, the buyer finds out post-signing.
Shareholder/controller litigation slips through
Habitual litigation patterns of shareholders or tied PEPs don't show up in bureaus or checklists — only in aggregated judicial research by CPF.
How it fits into the M&A process
Bulk query of CPFs/CNPJs
Via API or dashboard you fire the full list at once — target + shareholders + controllers + subsidiaries. No volume cap.
Structured data in JSON
Vigilant returns per-CPF/CNPJ data across the 12 court sources we cover: active cases, parties, movements, claim value, labor liability, and tax enforcements.
You build the red flags memo
With the consolidated data (exportable to JSON/CSV) your team assembles the red flags memo in the format your operation requires, ready to attach to the VDD.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Enterprise contracts include a bilateral NDA. The court data queried is public, but we keep confidentiality on the list of CPFs/CNPJs consulted and on the scope of the operation.
Yes. Query results are returned as JSON by the API or exported to CSV from the dashboard — your team assembles the red flags memo in whatever format the operation requires (executive PDF, spreadsheet, virtual data room).
No. Vigilant delivers the structured data (cases, parties, movements, claim value, labor liability, tax enforcements). The red flags memo itself is built by your diligence team — every operation has a different format, and interpreting red flags is legal work.
You control it. Enterprise contracts include a customizable retention clause — from 90 days to immediate purge after deal closing.
An average target runs 30-100 queries (target + shareholders + controllers + subsidiaries + executives). On the Business plan (2,000 credits) you cover ~30 operations/month with no monthly fee.
