In Brazilian business environments, contract duration is a critical negotiation point, especially in employment contracts (contratos de trabalho) and service agreements (contratos de serviço). The terms 'duração' and 'vigência' are often used interchangeably, though 'vigência' emphasizes the active enforcement period. In Portugal, similar importance is placed on contract terms, with particular attention to CLT (Código do Trabalho) labor law requirements regarding minimum and maximum contract durations.
