Arbitration and Mediation

Arbitration and mediation are alternative methods of extrajudicial dispute resolution, allowing legal issues to be settled without the involvement of the Judiciary.

The arbitrator’s decision is as legally enforceable as a judge’s ruling. It is a binding decision that definitively binds the parties.

In Brazil, the Institute of Arbitration and Mediation has grown significantly in recent years, as its pre-litigation approach helps prevent lawsuits through agreements and settlements aimed primarily at prioritizing the client’s interests.

Lopes & Castelo Sociedade de Advogados provides services in this critical legal field, representing clients in both national and international arbitration and mediation proceedings.
