Mauricio Gomm
60 years in Brazil
In celebration of the British Council’s 60th anniversary in Brazil, we invited people to talk about how their experiences in the UK have impacted on their lives.

MAURÍCIO GOMM FERREIRA DOS SANTOS
Curitiba, PR

In 1992, as a professor of Commercial Law at PUC/Pr, I was graced with a scholarship from the British Council to participate in a Master’s course (LLM) in International Commercial Law at Queen Mary and Westfield College (University of London). The personal and academic experience obtained during this period (1992/93) was exceptional. I was able to go deeper into my studies on commercial arbitrage when Brazil didn’t even have a modern law on the theme, nor had ratified the principal international conventions. Upon returning, I was able to collaborate on the legislative evolution and institutional doctrine on arbitrage in Brazil. Today, I continue to be extremely involved with the theme of arbitrage and mediation, teaching the discipline of arbitrage in some university post-graduate programs. Finally, I accompany, with satisfaction, the consolidation of the important method of conflict resolution in Brazil and can see a solid future for its utilization.
