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.
