The Board Against All Odds: Assessing The Powers Of Delegated Management In Brazil, Alexandre Edde Diniz De Oliveira Oct 2017

The Board Against All Odds: Assessing The Powers Of Delegated Management In Brazil, Alexandre Edde Diniz De Oliveira

Law and Business Review of the Americas

This article aims to analyze the contractual allocation of decision-making power to the board of directors in Brazilian public companies. Unlike U.S. law, Brazil's corporate statute bestows original and supreme decision-making power to the shareholders' meeting in running of the firm, while reserving a comparatively ancillary role to the board. At the same time, however, the statute permits shareholders to delegate part of these powers to the board through charter provisions. Whether or not parties take advantage of private ordering to empower the board is of great interest given the changing normative framework applicable to Brazil's capital markets over the …


The International Harmonization Of Competition Norms And Brazilian Competition Law: The Use Of Settlement Agreements, Kathryn Mcmahon Oct 2017

The International Harmonization Of Competition Norms And Brazilian Competition Law: The Use Of Settlement Agreements, Kathryn Mcmahon

Law and Business Review of the Americas

Unlike many other emerging and developing countries where competition laws have only recently been enacted, Brazil has had a long history of the application of competition laws and policies, culminating in its most recent legislative reforms in 2011. Brazilian competition agencies are also internationally commended as a success story, particularly for their strong stance against, and criminalization of, cartel activity. But there are also emerging difficulties. In recent years, the Brazilian constitutional courts have become important sites of social change as they adjudicate in areas such as health, telecommunications, and financial markets. There have been comparatively fewer applications for judicial …

Contextual Analysis In Arbitration, Pat K. Chew Jan 2017

Contextual Analysis In Arbitration, Pat K. Chew

SMU Law Review

The arbitration process is embedded in a much larger context than the four walls in which the arbitration occurs. Exploring and studying that context—including the arbitral institution, the arbitrators, each party, the arbitration process, and the broader cultural and political environment—inform what actually occurs and to what extent one party may have inherent advantages over the other. This article illustrates this contextual analysis in two diverse settings: domestic employment arbitrations and international trade arbitrations. These analyses reveal one party’s advantages over the other, which are explained in part by market and cultural forces in which these arbitrations are embedded. Interdisciplinary, …

The Privacy, Probability, And Political Pitfalls Of Universal Dna Collection, Meghan J. Ryan Jan 2017

The Privacy, Probability, And Political Pitfalls Of Universal Dna Collection, Meghan J. Ryan

SMU Science and Technology Law Review

Watson and Crick’s discovery of the structure of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in 1953 launched a truth-finding mission not only in science but also in the law. Just thirty years later–after the science had evolved–DNA evidence was being introduced in criminal courts. Today, DNA evidence is heavily relied on in criminal and related cases. It is routinely introduced in murder and rape cases as evidence of guilt; DNA databases have grown as even arrestees have been required to surrender DNA samples; and this evidence has been used to exonerate hundreds of convicted individuals. DNA evidence is generally revered as the “gold …
