Corrêa da Silva

What Corrêa da Silva does

Martins, Corrêa da Silva Advogados is a Brazilian boutique law firm specializing exclusively in Health Law (Direito à Saúde) and complementary Consumer Law (Direito do Consumidor), operating from headquarters in Porto Alegre and a second office in São Paulo. Founded and led by partners Felipe Müller Corrêa da Silva (OAB/RS 82.728) and Janine Martins Corrêa da Silva (OAB/RS 69.990), the firm represents individual patients (B2C) contesting denials of coverage by Brazilian health insurers (planos de saúde) and by the public health system (SUS). Case categories include oncology medications (Keytruda, OPDIVO, Enhertu), high-cost drugs outside the ANS formulary, genomic tests (Oncotype DX), PET-CT imaging, modern radiotherapy (IMRT/IGRT/VMAT), home care, autism/TEA therapies, abusive coparticipation charges, and unilateral contract terminations.

The firm runs a fully digital operating model — WhatsApp intake, video conferencing, electronic signatures, and digital court filings — that converts two physical offices into national reach across all Brazilian states. There is no proprietary technology product; the underlying capability is human legal expertise applied through standardized digital workflows. Client acquisition is content-led: an SEO-optimized blog with 39+ pages targets long-tail search queries tied to specific denied treatments, medications, insurers, and legal statutes (notably Lei 14.454/2022), with WhatsApp as the conversion and intake channel and Google Reviews as a trust signal.

Revenue is generated through professional-services fees (quote-based, tailored to each client's financial situation), with the Gratuidade de Justiça (court fee waiver) frequently invoked. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and no standard fee schedule exists. The firm has 9 employees, no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding — it operates as a private partnership wholly controlled by its two founding partners.

Direct peers

• Aith, Badari e Advogados: Brazilian law firm with a recognized Health Law practice serving individual patients facing treatment denials. Comparable to Corrêa da Silva in vertical specialization, B2C patient focus, and depth of regulatory expertise in ANS rules and jurisprudence.
• Bichara Advogados: Brazilian health law firm with a national practice representing patients in disputes against health insurance operators. Directly comparable to Corrêa da Silva in patient-side health litigation focus, geographic reach, and use of judicial remedies for treatment coverage.
• Bueno Brandão Advogados: Brazilian law firm specialized in Health Law (Direito à Saúde), focused on patient representation against health insurance plans and the SUS. Directly comparable to Corrêa da Silva in target customer (individual patients), core offering (denial contestation, liminares, off-Rol claims), and exclusive vertical focus.

Broad incumbents

• Mattos Filho: One of Brazil's largest full-service law firms with a recognized Health Law practice serving insurers, providers, and corporate clients. Comparable to Corrêa da Silva as a health-law services provider, but represents the broader incumbent landscape rather than the patient-side niche.
• Veirano Advogados: Large Brazilian full-service firm with a Healthcare and Life Sciences practice. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the Brazilian health-law services market, though its patient-side litigation focus is narrower than Corrêa da Silva's.
• Demarest Advogados: Large Brazilian full-service law firm with a Life Sciences and Health practice spanning regulatory, corporate, and litigation work. Comparable as a broader health-law services incumbent, but serves corporate/insurer clients rather than individual patients.
• Tozzini Freire Advogados: Large Brazilian full-service law firm with healthcare regulatory and litigation capabilities. Comparable as a broad incumbent overlapping with the health-law services category, though not exclusively patient-side.

Emerging players

• Justiçamed: Brazilian legal-tech/health platform focused on simplifying patient access to judicial claims for medical treatments and medications. Partially overlaps with Corrêa da Silva in serving patients with denied treatments, and represents an emerging technology-enabled model that could compete with or enable boutique patient-side firms.
