Arbitration and Mediation

Committed with the challenges brought by our clients, we are ready to help them to understand how to use the extrajudicial conflict resolution system in an efficient, quick and cost-saving manner. 

We dedicate efforts and creativity to achieve peaceful resolutions through prevention and mediation and thus avoid arbitration proceedings. When, for different reasons, this scenario is unfeasible, we feel equally determined to defend our clients in arbitral proceedings thanks to the expertise acquired over 25 years of experience in relevant and complex cases.

Having a team with national and international experience, we assist our clients in arbitration, negotiation and mediation proceedings as well as in adopting mechanisms, such as dispute resolution boards, specially designed to prevent or resolve disputes during the course of the business relationship.


The firm’s arbitration and mediation practice covers:

  • Representation in arbitral proceedings in Brazil and abroad, including institutional and ad hoc arbitrations;
  • Representation in court in pursuing remedies to ensure the effectiveness of the arbitration;
  • Representation in mediations;
  • Drafting and review of arbitration and dispute resolution clauses, including advice on complex corporate agreements;
  • Enforcement of domestic arbitral awards;
  • Recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards;
  • Serving as expert witness in arbitrations.
