What CESEC does

CESEC is a multidisciplinary professional services firm headquartered in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, founded in April 2005. The company was originally established to serve the civil engineering market with metallic structure projects for cell phone towers, then pivoted in 2012 into a broader practice focused on judicial expert opinions (laudos periciais), technical assistance, and consulting across engineering, accounting, and financial domains. Following a 2018 revitalization aligned with new market trends, CESEC expanded its portfolio to include loss adjustment services and economic-financial equilibrium analysis for public administration contracts under Brazilian procurement law (Lei 8.666/93). Today the firm operates six interconnected service lines: engineering expertise, accounting expertise, business consulting, economic-financial re-equilibrium, claims management, and technical assistance.

The firm serves four primary customer segments: courts and parties involved in judicial disputes (engineering and accounting expert opinions), small and medium enterprises seeking organizational and financial consulting, insurance companies requiring claim regulation and loss assessment, and public administration entities needing contract rebalancing calculations. With approximately 29 employees and a single office in the Juvevê neighborhood of Curitiba, CESEC operates on a regionally focused basis within the Brazilian market, primarily in Paraná state.

CESEC runs a sales-led professional services model with no proprietary technology platform, no productized SaaS offering, and no publicly disclosed pricing — revenue is generated through per-engagement fees for customized expert reports and consulting work. The company acquires clients via direct outreach (phone and email), court appointments as expert witnesses, and word-of-mouth referrals within the Paraná legal and business community. Marketing is conducted through technical blog articles authored by firm professionals and a presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. CESEC is privately held with no disclosed external investment, no parent company, and no public stock listing.
