The Brazilian insurance and reinsurance market reached a point of inflection in 2021 as sharp deregulation and incentives to innovation are likely to inject dynamism into the sector.
Furthermore, the Brazilian Judiciary – the country’smain body to resolve insurance disputes – has also undergone profound changes due to the pandemic. Such changes include reduction of in-office work and digitization of processes.
Professionals working in the insurance and reinsurance industry must be aware of these changes.
To shed light on so many relevant factors, our partner Pedro Souza and his associate Rodolfo Mazzini contributed to the prestigious publication The International Comparative Legal Guide – ICLG with a chapter dedicated to the insurance and reinsurance market in Brazil.
Insurance design: designing policy's contractual provisions and dispute resolution methods
The ongoing deregulation of the insurance market in Brazil is enlarging the scope of contractual freedom to policyholders and insurers.
The contractual design of policies becomes routine and, together with it, new ways to settle insurance disputes became reality. From mediation to binding questionnaires, from arbitration to “procedural contracts”, the resolution of conflicts in the insurance market becomes dependent on the constant strategic decisions by the contract parties.
Additionally, in view of those expressive innovations in insurance policy arrangements, lawyers now reach out to court grounding their cases on new paradigms of legal reasoning. To the extent that case law, centered for years around consumer protection legislation, is bound for incremental changes in its direction. The principles of the general theory of contacts and insurance in private law will definitely become enrooted in the judicial decision-making.
