"The book significantly clarifies important issues related to multi-party and multi-contract arbitration and will be of great interest and value to both Brazilian and international arbitration practitioners dealing with arbitrations seated in Brazil or with a Brazilian connection. The fact that it has been written in English will surely be a great facilitator to reach a broader and international audience, who will be able to study and analyze how this topic has been developing in Brazil, one of the fastest growing arbitral jurisdictions in the world. I hope all readers will have the same pleasure reading Leonardo’s book as I had myself, and will find it as useful and provocative as I found it. It is a book that surely deserves to be in everyone’s library” --- Renato Stephan Grion --- "It does not come as a surprise that Leonardo chose to write his Ph.D. thesis on a subject with great practical relevance. Leonardo worked for a boutique law firm in Brazil, and has gained great experience in leading arbitration firms in Europe. As a result, we do not have here purely academic research conducted by someone who has never practiced, but a book dealing with concrete problems analyzed theoretically and extensively. It is thus a book relevant for Brazilian and foreign arbitration practitioners, one with the academic sophistication of a doctoral thesis, but which they may use in their daily practice." --- Luciano Benetti Timm
