Arbitration and Mediation
Appropriate means to resolve conflicts are increasingly acceptable and encouraged in Brazil. However, although these can avoid litigation, it is still important to approach them with a solid strategy that can anticipate and resolve any issues in order to avoid costs or stress.
Cabanellos Advocacia has a team that specializes in conflict resolution, especially mediation and arbitration. We work together with other areas of the firm to advise our clients on various aspects: drafting and managing contracts, risk assessing claims, building cases and carrying out due diligence on legal documents and doing everything necessary to check and ensure compliance with the chosen arbitration or mediation agreements.
Among other matters, we are mainly involved in:
- Drafting and reviewing contracts with arbitration or dispute resolution clauses;
- Providing advice and guidance on more complex business contracts;
- Providing representation and designing strategies for mediation procedures, in both the public and private ambit;
- Designing strategies for claimants or defendants in arbitration proceedings in either this country or internationally;
- Providing representation in proceedings before arbitration panels or in ad hoc arbitration;
- Providing representation in court in relation to measures seeking to ensure that an arbitration procedure is effective and upheld.
