Secret in the business process

Ana Frazon integrated the panel "Sigital in the business process: hypotheses and techniques"September 24th. Professors Ricardo Aprigliano, Ana Marcato and Helena Abdo also participated, in moderation with Fábio Henrique Prado de Toledo.

The panel discussed an increasingly present challenge in business disputes: protecting sensitive information and company secrets without sacrificing the right to proof, contradictory and effective jurisdiction, whether state or arbitration.

Highlight Phrase:

"The secrecy of a company does not confer – and cannot confer – absolute protection on its holder in evidentiary terms."

Techniques to balance secrecy and proof

The teacher has been working on the subject. In recent column article Constitution, Company and MarketIt analyses techniques such as:

• granularised procedural secrecy;
• versions of the tarred documents;
• confidentiality clubs;
• date rooms.

All seek to reconcile the protection of secrecy with access to proof, especially in the digital economy, in which many illicits are practiced by opaque algorithms.

Highlight Phrase:

"It is necessary to find a balance between the protection of the company's secret and the other interests that are projected on judicial and arbitral proceedings."

Participation reinforces Ana Frazon's contribution to the debate on business law, process and competition.

Teacher integrates panel on ESG and the new economy in insolvency, in congress promoted by AASP and CMR in São Paulo

Professor Ana Frazão is one of the speakers of the 5th Congress of the Center for Women in Business Restructuring, held by the Association of Lawyers of São Paulo (AASP) in partnership with the CMR, on September 17, at the headquarters of the AASP – Unit Center, in São Paulo. The meeting brings together lawyers and lawyers, magistrates, teachers and national and foreign experts for a full day of debates on insolvency and corporate restructuring.

His participation takes place at 11 am, in the panel "Sustainable Restructuring: ESG and the New Economy in Insolvency", which he shares with Luize Menegassi and Viviane Prado, in moderation of João Godri. The theme brings together two agendas that are usually treated separately: on the one hand, the environmental, social and governance criteria that today guide the evaluation of companies and access to finance; on the other hand, the right of the crisis, in which the preservation of the activity and the allocation of losses among creditors impose difficult choices. It is therefore argued to what extent sustainability commitments survive — and how they should be considered — when the company enters the restructuring process.

The congress' programming also covers the relationship between law and economy in the analysis of business viability, modification and termination of essential contracts in judicial recovery, bankruptcy as an efficient capital allocation instrument, transnational insolvency in multinational groups, debt management tools and pre-insolvency negotiation, the responsibility of partners and administrators in the company crisis and the financing of agribusiness. The event has Ruth Manus opening lecture and closing with Maria Cristina Zucchi and Paula Andréa Forgioni.

Teacher debate recovery and tracking of panel assets on technology, international cooperation and credit effectiveness.

Professor Ana Frazão is part of the program of the IV Mineiro Congress of Business Law, promoted by OAB-MG through the Commission of Business Law, on 16 and 17 September 2026, in Belo Horizonte. The meeting brings together magistrates, lawyers, academics and authorities for two days of debates on the topics that today mobilize the most business practice.

The participation of Ana Frazão takes place on Wednesday (16), from 11h to 11h30, in the panel "Recovery and Tracking of Assets: technology, international cooperation and effectiveness of credit", which divides with the lawyer Breno Cardoso (MG). The theme lies in one of the most sensitive points of credit protection: the distance between judicial recognition of the law and its effective satisfaction, in a scenario of increasingly digital, dispersed and transnational assets — this puts in the foreground both the technological tracking tools and the mechanisms of cooperation between jurisdictions.

The congress program also covers taxation of income and tax reform, corporate franchise, judicial recovery and bankruptcy, corporate planning and succession in family companies, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, compliance and ESG, corporate litigation, arbitration, industrial property and corporate leases. Among the participants is Minister João Otávio de Noronha, of the Superior Court of Justice, which gives lecture on the morning of the 17th.
