Usage notes

Despite being officially an additive conjunction, it is sometimes used as an adversative one.

2007 February 28, Sérgio Nogueira, “Olá! Tudo bem? | G1 - Educação - Dicas de Português”, in G1‎:
No meio jurídico, é muito difundido o uso da conjunção outrossim. Pelo visto, muitos não conhecem o seu real significado, pois com freqüência encontro frases em que a conjunção outrossim é usada com o sentido de "por outro lado", como se fosse uma adversativa. Para quem não sabe, outrossim significa "além disso". É aditiva.
In legal circles, it's very common the use of the conjunction outrossim. Apparently, many don't know its real meaning because I often find sentences in which the conjunction outrossim is used with the meaning of "on the other hand" as if it were an adversative [conjunction]. For those who don't know, outrossim means "beyond this". It's [an] additive [conjunction].
