-> No, the individual words are not equivalent. But the complete expression "unjust enrichment" does mean "enriquecimento ilícito" or "enriquecimento sem causa".

agree

Gad Kohenov: This is the legal English equivalent expression, even if the words don't match 1:1!

-> "Enriquecimento ilícito" is a classic PT-BR legalese. It does not have anything to see with uranium enrichment.

Reference: unjust enrichment x illicit enrichment

Reference information:
My problem with "unjust enrichment" is not whether it is a word-for-word translation or not. That should not be enough reason to choose one suggestion over another. My problem is with the legal principle. As I understand it, "unjust enrichment" referst to a different legal matter.

Unjust enrichment is a legal term denoting a particular type of causative event in which one party is unjustly enriched at the expense of another, and an obligation to make restitution arises, regardless of liability for wrongdoing.

Illicit enrichment - the significant increase in the assets of a public official or of any other person which he or she cannot reasonably explain in relation to his or her income.

From the US Department of Justice:

(4) Illicit enrichment. - The United States of America intends to assist and cooperate with other States Parties pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article IX of the Convention to the extent permitted by its domestic law. The United States recognizes the importance of combating improper financial gains by public officials, and has criminal statutes to deter or punish such conduct. These statutes obligate senior-level officials in the federal government to file truthful financial disclosure statements, subject to criminal penalties. They also permit prosecution of federal public officials who evade taxes on wealth that is acquired illicitly. The offense of illicit enrichment as set forth in Article IX of the Convention, however, places the burden of proof on the defendant, which is inconsistent with the United States Constitution and fundamental principles of the United States legal system. Therefore, the United States understands that it is not obligated to establish a new criminal offense of illicit enrichment under Article IX of the Convention.
