About the Book:
Arbitration Law of Brazil: Practice and Procedure is a timely contribution to the development of commercial arbitration in Brazil, as it provides international practitioners and arbitrators with a useful reference tool to understand the Brazilian arbitral framework. Without sacrificing scholarly rigor, it provides a clear commentary on Brazilian arbitration legislation from a practical perspective, addressing the most relevant points in a direct and instructive manner, so that even someone unfamiliar with Brazilian law can comprehend all issues. This work reflects the experience of the authors, who are among the most prominent arbitration practitioners in Brazil. Both authors have long been committed to the development of arbitration, through teaching classes, organizing seminars and writing articles, not to mention their work on the Arbitration Committee of the Rio de Janeiro State Chapter of the Brazilian Bar Association, the first institution in Brazil to help develop and improve alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. Besides the authors’ work, this book also contains in its appendices articles from other leading Brazilian scholars analyzing relevant issues in connection with arbitration in Brazil. This provides an enlightening combination of practical background and academic debate.

“This book will certainly contribute to the arbitration process, as it will play an important role of guiding practitioners through Brazilian commercial arbitration. That is why I recommended it as the official publication on the subject by the Arbitration Committee of the Rio de Janeiro Chapter of the Brazilian Bar Association.”
- Professor Theóphilo de Azeredo Santos, Chairman of the Brazilian Committee of the
International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Chairman of the Arbitration Committee of the Rio
de Janeiro Chapter of the Brazilian Bar Association.

"The book covers all aspects of Brazilian Arbitration Law. It is valuable material for
those international practitioners whose work involves arbitration with Brazilian companies
or in Brazil, as well as to those that intend to recognize a foreign arbitral award in the Country."
- Pedro Batista Martins is Of Counsel to Barbosa, Müssnich & Aragão Advogados in Rio
de Janeiro. He is the former General Counsel of Embratel and is a co-author of the
Brazilian Arbitration Law.
