APEJESP

What APEJESP does

APEJESP (Associação dos Peritos Judiciais do Estado de São Paulo) is a 68-year-old Brazilian non-profit civil association headquartered at Av. da Liberdade in São Paulo that represents and serves judicial experts (peritos judiciais) and technical assistants (assistentes técnicos) operating in São Paulo state courts. Its core product surface consists of three components: (1) a publicly searchable expert directory, the Guia de Peritos, covering 150+ specialization areas (accounting, engineering, medicine, IT, law, etc.) across dozens of cities, which courts and lawyers use to locate qualified experts; (2) a portfolio of accredited professional training courses, ranging from a long-running introductory course on becoming a judicial expert to specialized offerings in tax, labor, documentoscopy, health-plan liquidation, and AI-assisted expertise, all delivering continuing education points under CRCSP's Cadastro Nacional de Peritos (CNPC); and (3) membership services including an identification card enabling early court access and institutional representation.

APEJESP operates on a community-led, subscription-plus-services business model. It charges members R$80/month (R$960 annually via monthly installments) or R$850 for a single annual payment, and generates supplementary revenue from tiered course fees (non-members, partner-entity members, APEJESP members) with PIX, credit card and boleto payment options. GTM is community-driven: a self-service membership portal, a digital newsletter, an active social and YouTube presence, and dedicated PR via SMB Comunicação Corporativa. The association is not investor-backed; it is member-funded and governed by an elected board of directors. Its first female president, Suely Gualano Bossa Serrati, took office in January 2024 for the 2024–2025 term.

Strategically, APEJESP is broadening its curriculum (notably with an AI-assisted expertise formation course in 2026 and a recent move into health-plan and documentoscopy specialties), deepening institutional partnerships (CRCSP, FEBRAPAM, Coreconsp, FECAP, FBC, Apjerj), and aligning its educational content with regulatory tailwinds from CNJ Resolution 615/2025 and the national rollout of court AI tools (Fábrica de Cálculos, Portal de Auxiliares da Justiça). The operating geography is primarily São Paulo state, with national reach through federated partnerships.
