Is your Brazilian contract a trap?
Secure your investment with one clause.
Vague language like 'disputes shall be settled by arbitration' can trap you in Brazilian courts for years. You need precision.
10+ Years
The average time a dispute can linger in Brazilian state courts without arbitration.
Brazil's Arbitration Act provides a modern framework, but your clause must be in writing and legally specific to be valid.
Dica
Confidentiality is NOT automatic in Brazil. If your deal requires secrecy, your clause must expressly state it.
Specify the 'Seat', the 'Language', and the 'Rules'. Choosing a reputable institution avoids procedural nightmares.
Is arbitration valid in all contracts?
In adhesion contracts, the signer must specifically agree in a separate document.
The 'Competence-Competence' principle means the arbitrator—not a judge—decides their own jurisdiction. This saves time.
Don't sign a Brazilian contract without an expert review. Protect your assets in 2026.
