The Brazilian American Chamber of Commerce in New York will host a discussion panel on litigation in Brazil.
Litigation in Brazil can be costly, confusing, and time-consuming. The new Code of Civil Procedure, implemented three years ago, aimed to simplify and shorten the duration of legal proceedings. Despite the new code, little has changed for those needing to litigate in Brazil.
The panel will bring together experts on the subject, who will provide an overview of the current Brazilian judiciary system, with an emphasis on civil and tax litigation. The panel will highlight key legal issues faced by companies and investors, and the practical realities of 
managing litigation and resolving disputes in the complex Brazilian legal system. The panelists will address frequently asked questions, recent trends, potential pitfalls, and alternatives to litigation, particularly how these issues apply to foreign investors.
Scott Wilson of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP will moderate the panel, which will feature the following speakers: Glaucia Lauletta Frascino and Fernando Neustein from Mattos Filho, Veiga Filho, Marrey Jr. e Quiroga Advogados; Gavin Parrish from FTI Consulting, Inc; and Mark Perla from Pfizer.
The event, titled “Litigation in Brazil: Explaining a Complicated System,” will take place on June 13, 2018, from 8:00 AM to 10:30 AM at 485 Madison Avenue, Suite 401, New York. For corporate members of the Chamber, the event is free; for non-members, it costs $50.00.
