he newly released 2025 edition of Prof. Selma Lemes’s influential report on arbitration in Brazil (the “Report”) is here, and it paints a detailed picture of the development of arbitration in the country. Drawing on 2024 statistics from the country’s eight leading arbitral institutions, the Report indicates a comeback story for high-value and international cases seated in Brazil, sheds light on systemic pressure points—including procedural delays and a concerning surge in arbitrator challenges—and highlights the remarkable strides in gender diversity that bolster Brazil as a modern, credible jurisdiction. Together, these findings reveal an arbitration market that is expanding, modernizing, and confronting the practical implications of rapid growth.
