A new chapter for the ICC Hearing Centre in São Paulo: ICC takes on full management
1 October 2026
ICC will assume sole management of its Hearing Centre in Brazil following an eight-year partnership with Brazil’s National Confederation of Industry (CNI). The transition will enable ICC to provide seamless, purpose-built facilities and complements ICC’s state-of-the-art Hearing Centre in Paris.

ICC will assume full management of the ICC Hearing Centre in São Paulo from 1 October. The move builds on a successful partnership between ICC and CNI spanning more than eight years. While ICC takes sole responsibility for managing the Centre, ICC’s longstanding partnership with CNI will continue.
The new chapter for the ICC Hearing Centre in Brazil reflects ICC’s broader commitment, as a leader in dispute resolution, to delivering practical solutions for the global dispute resolution community. As part of that commitment, the ICC Hearing Centre in São Paulo provides fit-for-purpose services for businesses, legal professionals and arbitrators worldwide. With deep roots in Latin America, it offers polished, contemporary spaces framed by expansive views across the bustling city.
The large hearing room features floor-to-ceiling panoramic views, while modular rooms can be reconfigured to suit different hearing and meeting requirements. Located five minutes from Berrini station and 25 minutes from Congonhas Airport, the ICC Hearing Centre in São Paulo brings together considered design, advanced technology and discreet operational support in a calm, secure setting.
“We are delighted to begin this new chapter for the ICC Hearing Centre in São Paulo. By managing the Hearing Centre directly, ICC can ensure that every hearing held in São Paulo benefits from a fit-for-purpose service tailored to the needs of parties, counsel and arbitrators consistent with the services provided by our Hearing Centre in Paris.”
Ana Serra e Moura, Deputy Secretary General, ICC International Court of Arbitration
