This was CSR’s third trip to Brazil to conduct mediation training. Given Frank Carr’s and CSR’s expertise in construction dispute resolution, the workshop focused on construction mediation issues that Brasil companies might face in the run-up to the Olympics. The workshop was sponsored by the CPR Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (NYC) and hosted by Barbosa Mussnich Aragao (BMA), one of Brazil’s premier law firms. CPR and BMA have partnered to bring alternative dispute resolution to Brazil, which has just recently enacted a new mediation law to encourage the use of mediation nation-wide. CSR expects to return to Brazil within the coming 12 months to conduct an advanced course for the more than 50 mediators who have already completed the CPR foundation course.

CPR (based in NYC) is the leading non-profit independent resource helping global business and their lawyers resolve complex commercial disputes more cost effectively and efficiently. CAMARB (Chamber of Arbitration-Brasil) is one of the three leading dispute resolution providers in Brasil.

Carr and Randolph were training with some of the top lawyers and arbitrators in Brasil, many of whom either represented, or handled arbitrations for Fortune 500 countries. The training was quite well received. In the words of one participant, a senior partner in a major law firm:

“I have to confess that it was a difficult process of negotiation with my wife and kids to participate in the training program and not to travel with them and enjoy the holiday in Brazil, but everything became easier after sharing with them the histories, exercises and my enthusiasm with everything that I learned during the three days. You are great. Be sure that we will spread the word here in Brazil about the quality and professionalism that we experienced.”

It was fascinating to see how easily some of the more adversarial negotiators were able to adapt to a facilitative mediation style. CSR looks forward to returning to Brasil.
