Spotlight on key litigation claims in Brazil: A new perspective on the impacts from COVID19 and ESG trends and hot topics
Wednesday, June 22
- 12:00 – 1:30 pm CDT (GMT-5)
As a result of the economic instability spawned by Covid-19, new causes for disputes have arisen in Brazil in a complex scenario riddled with economic and financial imbalance between parties. In an even more relevant trend, companies have been strengthening their ESG pillars, which in turn has been triggering new ESG-related litigation. That said, as the economy sets clear signs of recovery, and yet the business environment is still quite challenging, we would like to invite you to join the Dispute Resolution team in Brazil* to debate the future prospects of litigation in the region and its reflexes across the globe in a post-pandemic world.
