The federal capital hosts the final of the Digital Advocacy Hackathon, an event that rewards legal tech solutions with investment and acceleration for innovative projects.
The technology ecosystem applied to the legal sector reaches a decisive moment in Brasília with the final stage of the Digital Advocacy Hackathon.
The initiative is promoted by legaltech ADVBOX and gathered nearly a hundred proposals submitted to develop tools aimed at real legal demands.
The in‑person presentations of the finalist teams take place at the Brazil International Convention Center (CICB), integrated into the schedule of Incol 2026.
Market acceleration and required criteria
Up to ten selected projects will take the stage to defend their solutions before the judging panel this Thursday and Friday.
To secure a spot in the final, developers had to demonstrate that their software had already reached the Beta phase and had validation from at least ten external users.
The top three finishers will receive entry into the Traction Program, along with media funding of R$ 20,000, R$ 10,000, and R$ 5,000.
Debates on artificial intelligence and attractions
The event features more than 30 experts to discuss the impacts of innovation in the corporate and judicial environment.
A central agenda item is a panel discussion focused on free use versus regulation of artificial intelligence in advocacy.
The fair also showcases a humanoid robot trained for legal tasks and includes talks by Karen Luise, advisor to the CNMP, and retired judge Amilton Bueno.
“The initiative aims to bring innovation out of the realm of ideas, providing resources and visibility to accelerate tools that solve practical problems in advocacy.”
The statement from lawyer and CEO of ADVBOX, Eduardo Koetz, encapsulates the project’s goal of propelling startups ready for the market.
Impacts and outlook for the legal sector
Hosting the marathon in Brasília solidifies the region as a key hub for discussions on the digital transformation of justice.
With the award ceremony at the CICB, the winning solutions promise to bring greater efficiency and automation to the daily routines of offices and legal departments across the country.
