In Brazilian legal practice, procedural agreements ('acordos processuais') have become increasingly important in civil litigation and arbitration, especially following reforms to the Civil Procedure Code (Código de Processo Civil de 2015) that encourage party autonomy in establishing procedural rules. This reflects a broader shift toward consensual justice and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in Brazil.
