Since 2018, the program has brought the future to the present with collaboration, culture, and pioneering initiatives that have been part of TozziniFreire since its establishment
TozziniFreire Advogados celebrates the 5th anniversary of ThinkFuture, the first innovation program structured by a full-service law firm in Latin America. The initiative, launched in 2018, arose from a dream – to make TozziniFreire the most innovative law firm in Brazil – aligned with the highest expectations of clients, partners, and international standards of excellence, positioning the firm as a transformative and strategic agent, generating value and positive impact on business results.
The initiative features a set of actions that aim to boost creativity, implementing collaborative experimentation among professionals. ThinkFuture's actions are divided into three specialized cores: Advanced Solutions, which seeks to add advanced technology and design solutions to the legal services provided by TozziniFreire; Research & Content, which supports the firm's lawyers and practice groups in research and content creation concerning law, innovation, and new technologies; and Transformation and Legal Operations, which develops legal tech projects, training, and other innovative tools to speed up TozziniFreire’s efficiency and productivity in legal and non-legal areas.
Throughout its trajectory, the program has been recognized by some of the most important awards and certifications aimed at innovation initiatives in the legal environment: won first place in the Innovation category of Análise DNA + Fenalaw award; received the Future Law Awards for Visual Law and Legal Operations; and was certified by AB2L as a Law Firm 4.0.
