The trust that parties have in arbitration is undoubtedly one of the cornerstones of the institute. Although Brazilian Arbitration Act was enacted in 1996, the use of arbitration clauses only became safe by 2001, after the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court declared that the referred law was in accordance with the Brazilian Constitution. This decision granted credibility to arbitration as a legitimate mechanism of dispute resolution. Without trust, there is no arbitration.
It is precisely because of credibility and trust that we should celebrate the initiative of the Attorney General’s Office by creating the National Team Specialized in Arbitration (“ENARB”).
ENARB aims to form a group of federal prosecutors specialized in arbitration that will represent the interests of the Public Administration in arbitral proceedings with greater uniformity and efficiency, which increases predictability and legal certainty.
The creation of ENARB will not only improve the performance of federal prosecutors in arbitration, but will also strengthen arbitration as a legitimate, adequate and solid method of settling disputes involving the Public Administration, particularly in highly complex cases.
L.O Baptista Advogados, same as Attorney General’s Office, counts with a team exclusively focused on arbitration, which provides highly specialized, efficient, and secure legal counseling.
