Description - Business and Investment in Brazil: Law and Practice by Peter Sester

Business and Investment in Brazil provides a thorough analysis of Brazilian business law for investors and their legal advisers, focusing on topics relevant to business transactions and disputes that can arise in the aftermath of the signing or performance of deals.The essence of investment and negotiation processes is risk evaluation and allocation. Examining Brazilian law through the eyes of an international transaction lawyer, Peter
Sester focuses on the legal risks, which are higher in Brazilian law than elsewhere, particularly in comparison with contract, partnership, and company (LLC) laws governing international business transactions
in the US and UK. However, whilst Brazilian contract law remains a risk factor as a result of its over-ambitious and consequently interventionist approach, Brazilian law in the areas of stock corporation, capital market, antitrust, and public procurement are state-of-the-art when compared to the US and leading European laws in Germany, Switzerland, and France.This book is divided into eight chapters: the introduction provides an overview of the economic and legal framework
for doing business in Brazil, focusing on features of the Brazilian legal and economic order that are unusual to international practitioners from a comparative perspective. The other seven chapters
analyze those fields of substantive law that impact most investments and cross-border transactions in Brazil. They include important historical and economic context such as inflation indexation and the broad use of good faith, as well as explorations of common legal pitfalls such as the limited scope of freedom of contract and its mandatory provisions. The book focuses on the interpretation of statutory law by the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice and regulatory agencies, and also provides
insights into the economic and business rationale of some of the legal solutions offered.
