Annual Report 2018

CHAMBER FGV Mediation & Arbitration Chamber Director: Julian Chacel Based on Act 9,307/96, which renews institutional arbitration in Brazil, FGV has established an Arbitration Chamber, whose main duty is to manage and monitor the arbitration procedure, ensuring that all phases and deadlines are fulfilled in accordance with the law. Additionally, a new duty of the Chamber is mediation, which provides for an agreement between the parties in conflict with the assistance of a third party. The mediation phase may precede arbitra- tion and, in the event that the agreement is accepted by the parties, arbitra- tion becomes unnecessary. Chaired by the President of FGV, the Board includes two Directors, as well as a Chairman of the Arbitration Committee, as provided in the regulations, and a permanent body of arbitrators composed of persons of renowned tech- nical ability and unimpaired reputation, as well as professors from FGV in the fields of Law, Economics, and Administration. In 2018, the Chamber was empowered by the Public Prosecutor's Office to manage arbitrations in which the State of Rio de Janeiro is a party. More information at fgv.br/camara.
