Mattos Filho publishes integrated report with 2025 results

Mattos Filho has released the third edition of its integrated report, Pulso, highlighting the firm’s key results and initiatives in 2025, as well as insights into issues impacting Brazilian business and society. As the only Brazilian full‑service law firm to publicly disclose its revenue figures, Mattos Filho recorded growth for a fifteenth consecutive year, remaining the only Latin American firm among the world’s 200 largest in terms of revenue.

The report explores Mattos Filho’s performance in a year in which Brazil was marked by structural reforms, mounting litigation, an expanding regulatory agenda and rapid technological change. Amid this backdrop, the level of integration between the firm’s litigation, transactional and regulatory practices enabled it to respond swiftly to complex client demands. With litigation activity on the rise, litigation matters accounted for 51.5% of the firm’s revenue in 2025. Transactional and regulatory matters accounted for the remaining 48.5%, reflecting the heating up of M&A activity in certain sectors.

“2025 saw increasingly sophisticated transactions and rising market demands, which we met with consistent, high‑impact client service. Our multidisciplinary model and broad industry coverage fueled another year of growth and continued investment in strategic areas. Looking ahead to 2026, we remain committed to continuous evolution rooted in excellence, innovation and collaboration,” noted Pedro Whitaker de Souza Dias, managing partner at Mattos Filho.

Among the report’s key themes is the close integration of governance and innovation at the firm, which underpins its culture and strengthens collaboration. This approach manifests in partner‑led teams with sector‑specific expertise, equipped to address increasingly complex client needs. It also shapes the firm’s operating model, guides the adoption of technology aligned with client demands, supports the development of its people and culture, and reinforces leadership in social initiatives – such as the firm allocating 2.2% of its revenue in 2025 to support its pro bono practice’s work in human rights and public interest cases.

On the social front, the report also marks the 10th anniversary of Mattos Filho’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Program, highlights projects supported through tax incentive legislation, and details the programs run by Instituto Mattos Filho, a partner-led initiative. A special chapter of the report pays tribute to founding partner Ary Oswaldo Mattos Filho, who passed away in December. Beyond his legacy at Mattos Filho, Ary also served as Chairman of Brazil’s Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and founded the Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) Law School.
