Complex business processes with hundreds of external partners, thousands of discrete events to record and manage, and millions of dollars in funding are ideal candidates for blockchain platform-based digital transformation. One such method is managing a portfolio of judicial bonds and deposits, often known as judicial guarantees.

Suing is an unavoidable part of running a business of any size. It’s an unavoidable part of doing business in any field. Companies being sued in various nations, jurisdictions, and court systems must post a judicial guarantee in the form of an insurance-based surety bond or, in some situations, a cash deposit. The more legal actions that are launched against a corporation, the more complicated the judicial guarantee process gets.

While there are many different forms of judicial bonds, the goal is usually to protect the plaintiff in a lawsuit against the defendant’s default, whether it’s a civil, tax, or labor dispute or to cover court costs. Tracking litigation status to determine when deposits are recoverable or bonds can be retired is a management challenge for large companies, as is coordinating multiple internal departments and systems, communicating with multiple law firms, and obtaining bonds from multiple insurance companies.

A timeline and history of blockchain technology

The advantages of a blockchain-based approach for handling judicial bonds and deposits have been demonstrated.

Standardizing and digitizing the entire process, as well as adopting a blockchain-based system to manage all forms of court guarantees and connect all of the involved departments and partners, can:

• Replace cumbersome processes and spreadsheets with a fully computerized and integrated tracking of legal actions and outstanding judicial guarantees.
• Once the cases are resolved, get your judicial deposits back as soon as possible.
• Many procedures involved in requesting bonds or securing deposits can be automated to increase efficiency.
• Encryption and tamper-evident distributed ledger technology can improve security.
• With a transparent procedure that any permission participant can audit, you can avoid conflicts and streamline interactions.
• Hundreds of legal actions and supply chain actors, such as law firms, banks, and insurance organizations, will be included.

How does the blockchain function for managing and controlling judicial guarantee bonds and deposits?

Blockchain Platform that allows a business to manage, negotiate for, and govern judicial guarantees given by its network of law firms, banks, and insurance companies. Typically, a company will collaborate with Blockchain Services to customize this solution to its specific procedures and needs.

Users can access the solution through a web interface, and digital workflows can be used to automate and govern corporate activities.

The management of a mining firm has been streamlined, and judicial deposits have been recovered.

Vale S.A., a Brazilian mining company, managed USD $3 billion in recoverable court deposits, bonds, and insurance guarantees using numerous non-integrated programs and spreadsheets. Multiple internal litigation and finance departments, lawsuits managed by more than 150 legal firms, and guarantees held by major banks and insurance companies were all part of the complicated process. Due to the complexity and lack of integration, funds due to the company were not recovered until after a favorable resolution of court processes.

A security-rich network developed on the blockchain platform that connects different internal systems as well as its ecosystem of suppliers is the solution for managing and retrieving judicial guarantees. In a single distributed ledger database, smart contracts are used to request, issue, and track guarantees, as well as track the status of connected lawsuits. In addition, the system employs natural language understanding to examine legal revisions to discover recoverable guarantees. Vale was able to recover USD $35 million in unpaid court deposits thanks to the scalable blockchain technology, which was developed in just nine months.
