Know before your Brazilian counterparty files.

LatAm Watch monitors the Brazilian companies you sell to, lend to or depend on, across court records and protest registries. When a credit-relevant event is filed, you get an alert in English, with a link to the source, often weeks before a formal restructuring.

The warning was public. It was in Portuguese.

Two of Brazil's largest recent restructurings were preceded by court filings that any creditor could have read, if they were watching the right docket.

What we watch for

Brazilian companies rarely move from healthy to restructuring overnight. Each step is a public record, held in a separate court, registry or gazette system. We follow all of them for every company on your list.

  1. Protested debtsUnpaid bills formally protested at notary registries
  2. Collection suitsEnforcement actions filed by suppliers and banks
  3. Bankruptcy petitionsFiled by creditors against the company
  4. Emergency protectionPrecautionary stays and court-supervised mediation
  5. Restructuring filedJudicial or out-of-court reorganization

Questions

Anything else: desk@latamwatch.com

What exactly do you monitor?

For each company and its group entities: filings in state and federal courts (collection and enforcement suits, bankruptcy petitions, precautionary measures, mediation, restructuring proceedings), protest records, official gazette notices and, for listed companies, CVM disclosures.

Do I need each company's CNPJ?

No. A legal or trading name is enough. We identify the CNPJ and group entities and confirm each match with you before monitoring starts.

What does the free scan include?

Send up to five Brazilian companies. Within 24 hours we report whether any is subject to a current restructuring, bankruptcy petition or pre-insolvency proceeding, with sources. No obligation.

Which courts do you cover?

All 27 state court systems and the federal courts, through their public dockets and the National Council of Justice's DataJud service, plus protest registries and official gazettes. Sealed proceedings and courts without public access are flagged as gaps, never assumed clear.

What does "within 24 hours" mean on weekends?

Turnaround times are counted in Brazilian business days. Alerts on monitored companies are sent as soon as they are reviewed.

Is this a credit rating or legal advice?

No. We report public records factually, in English. We do not rate companies, estimate recoveries or advise on legal steps.

Can you invoice our company?

Yes. Write to us with your billing details and we will issue an invoice in U.S. dollars, payable by wire.

Which of your Brazilian counterparties is already in court?

Send up to five names. We answer within 24 hours, at no cost.
