Braghetta re-elected as CBAr president
Thursday, 18th August 2011 by Alison Ross
The Brazilian Arbitration Committee has re-elected Adriana Braghetta as president for another two years
and added new directors, advisory council members and regional coordinators.
Braghetta, who practises at LO Baptista Advogados Associados SC in São Paulo, was one of the founders of
the committee 10 years ago. Her two co-founders, João Bosco Lee and Eduardo Damião Gonçalves, have
already acted as president, each serving two terms.
Braghetta says that it has been 'exciting and a real pleasure' to participate in the development of arbitration in
Brazil over the last decade.
'The plan for the future is to expand the dialogue to include judges of state courts and to promote academic
study of arbitration and arbitration-related projects throughout Brazil so that other states can reach the same
level of development as the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and Paraná,' she says.
The election took place on 11 August, with all CBAr members entitled to vote. Other officers who were re-elected
were vice president Eleanora Coelho of Castro e Barros Advogados, treasurer Carlos Forbes of Mundie e
Advogados and secretary Luciano Timm of Carvalho, Machado, Timm e Deffenti Advogados.
At the same time CBAr voted in two new board members, Flávia Bittar and André Abbud, and three new
advisory council members, Carlos Alberto Carmona of Marques Rosado, Toledo Cesar & Carmona Advogados,
Adriana Pucci of Lucon Advogados and Nádia de Araújo, a professor of private international law at the Pontifical
Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro. The advisory council meets three or four times a year to consider CBAr's
future direction.
Abbud, an associate at Barbosa Müssnich & Aragão in São Paulo, will replace Rafael Alves, a former deputy
counsel at the ICC Court of Arbitration in Paris. Alves had to step down as director after leaving the ICC to work
alongside Braghetta at LO Baptista, but will remain a member of CBAr.
A full list of board and advisory council members is published below.
Finally, Braghetta says, the board of directors has appointed eight CBAr members to coordinate activities in
particular states 'due to the size of Brazil and the need to reach every region". The new regional representatives
are:
Brasília, Federal District: Rafael Alves of LO Baptista Advogados Associados SC
Minas Gerais: Augusto Tolentino of Tolentino Advogados
Paraná: Daniela Gabbay of LO Baptista Advogados Associados and Tarcísio Araújo Kroetz of Hapner & Kroetz
Advogados
Rio de Janeiro and surrounding states: Joaquim Muniz of Trench, Rossi e Watanabe Advogados and Octávio
Fragata of Barbosa Müssnich & Aragão
Rio Grande do Sul: Ricardo Ranzolin of Silveiro Advogados
São Paulo: Ana Beneti of Pinheiro Neto Advogados
