Iberian Lawyer: Together we fight

Bárbara Godinho Correia, partner in the Corporate M&A pratice, was recently interviewed by Iberian Lawyer regarding issues such as the safety of all employers when returning to the office and the relationship with clients in a post covid era.

“Our major concerns during this crisis were the same. We needed to keep everything working as usual, we needed to support the clients more than ever and this was our top concern. We are all facing an unprecedented situation, and we want to help and to keep our team safe.

Of course, at this point in time we clearly see that being a full-service firm makes all the difference because we are able and have a multidisciplinary team working that are able to be there for the client to solve all their problems. I think the challenge was that we needed to keep providing our legal service.

We felt that clients and everyone in general needed to have full information, a full picture of what was taking place in Portugal in a legal sense. I have never seen a moment like this. The government approved laws and pre-laws on a daily basis. It was crucial to be on top of it and to know what the measures were, to help our clients, our market and our economy to resist.

We have created a digital hub on our website with all the information, all teams were involved in giving the right and most updated information, to give clients a full picture on what is happening on the legal side”.
