After the enactment of the Brazilian Arbitration Act of 1996 (BAA 1996), the growth of the Brazilian economy has resulted in Brazil becoming an important venue for arbitration. This note considers the framework for arbitration in Brazil, as set out by the BAA 1996, taking into consideration some applicable provisions of the Civil Code of Procedure and recent case law. It deals with all aspects of arbitration by describing the main features of a Brazilian arbitral process, from the preparation of a valid arbitration agreement to the enforcement of arbitral awards.
