Corporate M&A

Back

PLMJ's Corporate M&A practice advises large and medium-sized companies and investment funds on acquisitions, mergers, de-mergers, and joint ventures in the Portuguese market. It has also worked on the main privatisation processes that have taken place in Portugal.

We act for companies in a wide range of sectors, in mergers and acquisitions, in and out-of-court corporate restructuring, and corporate governance.

Our team advises on matters of corporate law, commercial law, and contracts, and we also provide support in the negotiation of partnerships and joint ventures.

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.
