Learn more about São Paulo Arbitration Week:

The São Paulo Arbitration Week (SPAW) is a collaborative event conceived as an organized calendar for law firms, universities, associations and institutions to promote events in a productive environment in benefit of the development of ADRs.

The event is an opportunity for the ever-growing arbitration community in São Paulo to discuss pressing issues and to exchange experiences with foreign practitioners.

São Paulo has experienced an unprecedented growth in ADRs. Friendly Courts, state-of-the-art infrastructure and a demanding market forged São Paulo as a natural hub for International Arbitration.

Therefore, and considering the wide range of events happening in October connected to the subject, SPAWs role is to facilitate and gather all the information concerning these events. An opportunity such as the São Paulo Arbitration Week could not be missed.
