Recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in Brazil

As Brazil turns into a major player in international trade, it is inevitable that the number of foreign arbitral awards rendered against parties with assets located in that country will grow exponentially. Accordingly, it is important that successful parties in arbitration proceedings who may need to enforce awards in Brazil be aware of the local procedures for recognition and enforcement. 0This book is the first one to provide practical guidance on the main steps and formal requirements for recognition of foreign arbitral awards before Brazil s Superior Court of Justice. It also includes a systematic compilation of all decisions issued by the Court on the recognition of foreign arbitral awards as of April 2015, as well as a bird s eye view of enforcement proceedings of said awards before Brazilian Federal Courts at the trial level.
