Arbitration
Key contact
Our Arbitration practice is structured to handle disputes of significant economic and strategic importance, both in Brazil and internationally. We represent domestic and foreign clients in arbitral proceedings before the leading national and international arbitration institutions, with integrated work alongside related court proceedings, such as interim measures, supportive judicial actions, and the setting aside and enforcement of arbitral awards.
With a multidisciplinary team and extensive experience in disputes involving sectors such as energy, construction, infrastructure, M&A, corporate matters, financial markets, oil & gas, agribusiness, technology and insurance, we provide a technically sophisticated approach aligned with our clients’ commercial objectives.
We act strategically from the prevention stage of disputes – through the drafting of effective arbitration clauses and appropriate dispute resolution mechanisms – to the full conduct of arbitral proceedings, always focusing on efficiency, confidentiality and the maximization of results.
Our cooperation with CMS combines national and international experience, ensuring coordinated representation in cross-border and highly complex disputes. We also publish updated regional editions of the CMS Expert Guide to International Arbitration, a comprehensive reference tool widely recognized as one of the best resources available in the market.
