BOOKS AND ACADEMIC ARTICLES 05 Jun 2026 in Panoramic – Arbitration 2026

SÉRVULO & Associados has contributed the chapter on Portugal to the Panoramic – Arbitration 2026 publication by Lexology (Law Business Research), providing a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the legal framework governing arbitration in the country.

Authored by Alexandra Valpaços and Nuno Temudo Vieira, the chapter covers the key aspects of the Portuguese arbitration regime, ranging from applicable international conventions and the Voluntary Arbitration Law (Law No. 63/2011) to the arbitration agreement, the constitution of the arbitral tribunal, arbitral proceedings, interim measures, and the regime for challenging, recognising and enforcing arbitral awards.

In the trends and updates section, the authors highlight the growing attention being paid to the use of artificial intelligence in arbitration, third-party funding, and the consolidation of a Portuguese-speaking arbitral community.
