What Núcleo de Perícias does

Núcleo de Perícias is a privately held Brazilian forensic services firm founded in September 2000 and headquartered in São Paulo. The company delivers technical expertise across nine specialty practices: traffic accident forensics, virtual accident reconstruction, fire investigation, handwriting/document forensics (grafotécnica), digital document analysis, vehicle forensics, workplace accident forensics, and machinery/equipment diagnostics, plus a 24/7 emergency response service. Its operational model relies on a nationwide network of 250+ service points that enables immediate on-site attendance across all Brazilian states, backed by a multidisciplinary team of qualified engineers and court-recognized expert reports.

The firm's technology stack centers on a 3D virtual accident reconstruction platform acquired in 2022 (described as the world's most advanced of its kind), drone-based accident site mapping, and specialized digital document analysis software using HASH-based integrity verification. It also operates Instituto Montesani, a training arm that has credentialed more than 8,500 professionals. CEO Márcio Montesani holds engineering credentials from FEI and POLI-USP and is finalizing a doctorate at UNICAMP, supporting the integration of academic research with applied forensic work. Over 25 years, the company has produced more than 20,000 expert studies, including a proprietary base of 12,000+ traffic accident analyses that informs its consulting output.

Commercially, Núcleo de Perícias generates revenue through fee-for-service professional engagements and managed-service contracts (particularly 24/7 enterprise agreements) with insurance companies, vehicle protection associations, rental companies, law firms, cargo and passenger transport operators, and individual clients. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure of rates. The company is bootstrapped and founder-owned, with no external funding rounds disclosed, and operates exclusively within Brazil. It is LGPD-compliant and distributes through WhatsApp, a corporate website, blog content, and presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
