European Investments in Brazil: Bracing for Regulatory Shocks in Energy, Concessions, and Tax

Freshfields International Arbitration Partner and Co-Head of the Latin America Practice Nigel Blackaby KC, with Senior Associates Yuri Mantilla and Matheus Bastos Oliveira, will be speaking on a panel titled “European Investments in Brazil: Bracing for Regulatory Shocks in Energy, Concessions, and Tax” organized by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIarb) Brazil Branch and supported by Exxata during Paris Arbitration Week on March 25, 2026.

Brazil remains a country with significant scope for investment in infrastructure, and it is essential for investors to be familiar with the innovations in the sector—particularly in the energy field and in projects more broadly—as well as with the recent changes to the taxation framework. The event will present the most significant innovations and discuss the strategic role of arbitration in resolving complex sector-related disputes.
