Who gets a say? The case for negotiated mechanisms under Bill No. 4,675/2025 and the future of digital markets regulation in Brazil
This article presents preliminary thoughts and considerations on Brazil’s Bill No. 4,675/2025, which will make the Administrative Council for Economic Defence (CADE) the regulator for digital markets.

The article also demonstrates that adopting a dialogue-based model for the obligations of the agents designated as systemically relevant ‘gatekeepers’, given CADE’s experience and success with consensual negotiations, may enhance proportionality, legal certainty and regulatory effectiveness without displacing public enforcement authority.
