⚖️ CNPJ Legal Processes & Litigation Risk

Litigation risk for Brazilian companies by CNPJ (Tax ID): aggregated lawsuit statistics by type, court, state (UF), status and party role over the last 5 years as defendant/respondent, plus optional individual case records. One POST /check, up to 1,000 CNPJs per summary run. Built for due diligence, supplier onboarding and compliance.

Output example (one record per CNPJ / Tax ID)

Summary mode (default). Field names are in Portuguese; distribuicao holds dynamic-key maps (label → count).

{
"cnpj":"33000167000101",
"cnpjFormatado":"33.000.167/0001-01",
"consultadoEm":"2026-06-07T10:40:13.674Z",
"encontrado":true,

"totalProcessos":338740,
"distribuicao":{

"porEstado":{"SP":120350,"RJ":41880,"MG":22014}
},
"processos":null,
"paginacao":null
}

Abbreviated sample. distribuicao also includes porTipo, porNomeTribunal, porTipoTribunal, porNivelTribunal, porAssuntoCnj, porAssuntoCnjAbrangente, porTipoProcedimentoCnj. Set incluirProcessos: true to also get processos[] (case number, court, status, value, parties) and paginacao. On per-CNPJ failure the item carries erro (and encontrado: false) instead of failing the run. Very high-volume companies may return distribuicao: null with erro: "volume excessivo de processos".

FAQ

Does it return individual lawsuit numbers?

Yes, when incluirProcessos: true (up to maxProcessos per CNPJ, default 50). Summary-only mode returns aggregated stats without case numbers.

Which party role is included?

Aggregation focuses on processes where the company appears as defendant/respondent, over the last 5 years.

What if distribuicao is null?

Usually erro: "volume excessivo de processos" for companies with extremely high litigation volume (large banks, major state-owned enterprises).

What CNPJ (Tax ID) formats are accepted?

Any format. Check digits validated locally. Max 1,000 CNPJs (summary) or 100 (detail) per run.

Is it legal to use this data?

Use only with legitimate business purpose and applicable compliance requirements (LGPD/GDPR where personal data appears; individual parties have PII masked).
