LITIGATION IN BRAZIL: A COMPLICATED SYSTEM MADE
SIMPLE
Join Us on June 13, 2018Time: 8:00 AM to 10:30
AM
Location: Coming Soon
Litigation in Brazil can be costly and time
consuming. The new Code of Civil Procedure, which came into effect a little
over three years ago, was designed to simplify and shorten the duration of
judicial proceedings. Yet not much has been changed for those that need to
litigate cases in Brazil. Join us for an overview of Brazil’s current judicial
system and proceedings in the areas of civil and tax litigation, including a
discussion of the practical implications of the new Code of Civil Procedure for
companies doing business in Brazil. Our panel of experts will also address
frequently asked questions on topics such as attorney-client privilege,
disclosure of evidence, publicity of court records, and the effects of
injunctions and orders freezing assets.

AFTERNOON PROGRAM WITH AUTHOR AND PUBLISHER BETI
ROZENCWAJG (SEM FRONTEIRAS PRESS)
July 12, 2018Time: 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM
Location: Brazilian-American Chamber of
Commerce, Inc., New York, New York
This hour and a half long afterschool workshop for
kids based on two children’s picture books, Stolen Spirit and Without
Words, which introduces a brief overview of Brazil’s early history while
encouraging young people to think about their Brazilian heritage through their
personal experiences as immigrants, or as the children of immigrants.
This workshop would present some general information about Brazil’s early
history through a brief discussion, but it will also be interactive.
Stolen Spirit, which takes place in 1500, focuses on
the arrival of the Portuguese from an Indian boy’s point of view.
We can bring objects such as a sample of brazilwood to talk about how Brazil
got its name and why the Portuguese were interested in this land. That would be
Part I of the workshop. We would base Part II of the workshop on our
book Without Words, which is about a Brazilian immigrant boy who uses his
talent for draw to adapt to life in the United States. We would encourage
kids or draw or to write about some personal experience they had with Brazil,
and then share that memory with everyone else if they are comfortable.
