Os principais impactos do novo código de processo civil na gestão estratégica dos departamentos jurídicos

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze what are the main impacts of the New Civil Procedure Code in the strategic management of legal departments. The methodology used was qualitative so it would allow the construction of the subject knowledge. The objective was to deeply investigate what the respondents knew about the topics, and find out how the identified elements are materializing in day to day, in order to provide a descriptive exploratory study. It was identified expectation’s divergence regarding the new legislation. What was notice is that there is a lot of uncertainty about the legislation applicability. People ask themselves whether we are prepared for significant change. The individual analysis brought practical results, and also the inclusion of three new elements. The strategic posture of a legal department allows the company to anticipate main problems, so it is important to analyze these major changes as soon as possible. The fact is that the new legislation reiterates the need for hiring professionals who know not only of general law but also business matters. There are considerable limitations in the Brazilian Legal Procedures, however, if all professionals dedicate part of the time developing themselves, then we will have a law worthy of support and effective applicability.
