CMIRB Centro de Mediação do Instituto Recupera Brasil

What CMIRB Centro de Mediação do Instituto Recupera Brasil does

CMIRB Centro de Mediação do Instituto Recupera Brasil is a São Paulo-based specialized business mediation chamber and an independent body of the Instituto Recupera Brasil (IRB), focused on resolving disputes related to corporate financial distress and restructuring in Brazil. It operates as the first mediation chamber in Brazil exclusively specialized in business debt resolution and restructuring, holding NUPEMEC accreditation with both the Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de São Paulo (TJSP) and the Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (TJRJ). Its core services cover three mediation lines: Mediação de Dívidas (business debt mediation in pre-litigation or judicial recovery contexts), Mediação Trabalhista (labor conflict mediation under Brazilian Labor Reform), and Mediação Cível (civil and business dispute mediation including shareholder conflicts and concession contracts). A secondary offering addresses creditors in judicial recovery proceedings and M&A/succession-related disputes.

The chamber's primary technology is an automated online mediation platform (sistema.cmirb.com.br) that supports fully virtual, hybrid, or in-person mediation sessions conducted across Brazil, with integrated capabilities for case submission, per-procedure cost calculation, invitation tracking, and document validation. The mediator panel of over 20 specialists is positioned as a core capability, with credentials including international certifications (ICFML, CBMA, IMAB, Harvard Law School) and prior court appointments at CNJ, TJSP, and TJDFT. The platform enables nationwide reach from a São Paulo headquarters at Largo do Paissandu, 51, Loja 616.

CMIRB generates revenue through a transaction-fee model: parties pay per mediation procedure, with costs calculated via the platform's published cost calculator based on case characteristics and value. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with legal advisors and judicial administrators referring companies in judicial or extrajudicial recovery, supplemented by inbound demand through the self-service online platform and content marketing via the company's news/blog section and social media channels. Customer segments are diversified across companies in turnaround/restructuring, micro and small enterprises under Brazil's Marco Legal do Empreendedorismo, employers and employees in labor disputes, civil and business counterparties, and creditors in judicial recovery proceedings, with no publicly disclosed anchor clients.

Broad incumbents

• Mattos Filho: Major Brazilian full-service law firm with a prominent restructuring and insolvency practice. Competes for the same distressed-company mandates and could absorb mediation-related work as part of broader legal engagements.
• Pinheiro Neto Advogados: Leading Brazilian law firm with strong bankruptcy and corporate restructuring practice. Represents creditors and debtors in judicial recovery proceedings that CMIRB serves through mediation.

Direct peers

• CBMA - Centro Brasileiro de Mediação e Arbitragem: Brazilian mediation and arbitration center offering online and in-person ADR services. Comparable to CMIRB as a chamber specializing in commercial mediation, including virtual mediation capabilities.
• CIESP/FIESP Arbitration and Mediation Chamber: Industry chamber-linked ADR center affiliated with the São Paulo Federation of Industries, handling commercial and corporate disputes. Comparable as a São Paulo-based accredited mediation chamber serving businesses.
• IMAB - Instituto de Mediação e Arbitragem do Brasil: Brazilian mediation and arbitration institute with national coverage. Comparable to CMIRB as a specialized mediation institution offering certified mediators and accredited proceedings.
• AMCHAM Brasil Arbitration and Mediation Center: American Chamber of Commerce ADR center in Brazil offering mediation and arbitration services. Comparable as a court-recognized mediation chamber serving corporate clients in commercial disputes.
• CAM-CCBC (Centro de Arbitragem e Mediação da Câmara de Comércio Brasil-Canadá): One of Brazil's largest and most established mediation and arbitration chambers, also accredited with NUPEMEC. Directly comparable as a Brazilian ADR chamber serving corporate disputes, though broader in scope than CMIRB's business-debt focus.

Regional players

• Capital Administradora Judicial: Brazilian judicial administrator firm involved in bankruptcy and restructuring proceedings. Comparable as an ecosystem participant working with companies in recovery — overlapping with CMIRB's mediation client base.
• Brasil Expert Análise Empresarial de Insolvência: Brazilian insolvency analysis and restructuring advisory firm, with which CMIRB's Secretary-General is affiliated. Operates in the same distressed-company ecosystem and could be a partner or referral source.

Emerging players
