Products and services

• Arbitragem (Arbitration) A private litigation procedure where one or more specialized arbitrators (always an odd number) resolve patrimonial disputes outside of court, offering confidentiality, speed (typically 6 months to 2 years), specialization, and enforceability comparable to judicial decisions under Brazilian Arbitration Law (Lei nº 9.307/1996).
• Mediação (Mediation) An assisted self-composition process where parties, with technical support from a neutral mediator, negotiate to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. The procedure is confidential, informal, and typically concludes within an average of 60 days under the Brazilian Mediation Law (Lei nº 13.140/2015).
• Dispute Board (Comitê de Prevenção e Solução de Controvérsias) A technical committee of experienced, impartial professionals (Comitê de Prevenção e Solução de Controvérsias) that monitors contract execution, preventing and resolving disputes during the course of long-term contracts. Members provide opinions and recommendations to keep projects running smoothly, with particular application to infrastructure and public works.
• Online Case Submission Platform Web-based platform (sistema.camers.org.br) for submitting and managing arbitration, mediation, and Dispute Board cases. Features multi-step wizard intake forms, document upload capabilities, party information management, and integration with the chamber's case processing workflow.

Competes with CAMERS for high-value, cross-border commercial disputes involving Brazilian parties, though operating at vastly larger scale and global scope.
• Dispute Resolution Board Foundation (DRBF): Global organization promoting Dispute Boards in construction and infrastructure contracts. CAMERS partners with DRBF to deliver certified Dispute Board training, making DRBF a comparable standards-setting body in CAMERS' third service line.
• ICDR - International Centre for Dispute Resolution (AAA): The international arm of the American Arbitration Association, providing arbitration and mediation services globally. Comparable as a full-service ADR institution competing for cross-border matters involving Brazilian parties.
• LCIA - London Court of International Arbitration: London-based international arbitration institution. CAMERS' own webinar series referenced LCIA practices, signaling LCIA as a relevant comparator for international arbitration standards and party expectations in the Brazilian market.

Highly comparable to CAMERS in service offering (arbitration, mediation) and target market (Brazilian businesses and legal practitioners).
