Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The Dealist podcast, Gustavo Rugani and Savio Andrade of Machado Meyer Advogados share how the Brazil-based firm’s early adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) accelerated its digital transformation. In a country with a highly litigious culture — it’s home to more than 80 million lawsuits — AI and legal tech have become essential tools for sifting through vast amounts of data, automating routine tasks and driving efficiency.
Listen to learn how their firm is:
• Building digital-first cultures that balance efficiency with safety, security and client trust
• Turning massive amounts of publicly available data into actionable insights during M&A target research and due diligence
• Using AI to automate repetitive, billable-hour tasks like document review and corporate minutes
• Freeing up time to focus on strategic work, innovation and deeper client relationships
