GREENVILLE, S.C.—Brazil’s new “Positive Credit Registry” law appears to be an important, and promising, development in the Brazilian credit market.

The new law stands to benefit lenders, retailers and consumers alike. Womble Carlyle attorney Jay Rogers has co-authored a new article on the Brazilian Positive Credit Registry for Credit Today.
Brazilian attorneys André de Almeida and Caio Iadocico de Faria Lima of the Almeida law firm in São Paulo, Brazil joined Rogers in writing the article.
