We advise on the main acquisitions, mergers, demergers and joint-ventures undertaken in the Portuguese market, and we have also worked on the country’s most important privatisations.
This team acts for clients of all sizes and in all sectors, in mergers and acquisitions, in and out-of-court corporate restructuring, and corporate governance. We advise on matters of corporate law, commercial law and contracts, and we also provide support in the negotiation of partnerships and joint ventures.
In venture capital, we advise the main private equity and venture capital fund managers, not only on the purchase and sale of assets, but also on designing and structuring funds. We keep ahead of the developments and new trends in the market and handle the most innovative buy-out transactions involving not only equity, but also debt and hybrids.
The team also provides day-to-day legal support to large Portuguese and international companies, business groups, investors and funds, and SMEs, and this support covers both transactional and regulatory matters. Our multidisciplinary approach means we can always work with lawyers from other practice areas when necessary and, in particular, we work regularly with colleagues from competition, regulatory, tax, real estate, employment, and commercial litigation and arbitration.
In advising our clients, we focus constantly on being aware of the sectors and markets where they operate, and we always keep in close contact with the regulators of each sector.
