Capital Markets

Back

We support issuers, investors and financial intermediaries seeking tailored, effective, sophisticated advice on capital-raising transactions in the market. 

Our lawyers have extensive experience in advising on initial public offerings (including in the context of privatisations), takeovers, capital increases, secondary market offerings, hybrid and convertible security issuances and international offerings.

We have played a role in the main public offers for subscription and sale in Portugal, advising issuers from different sectors. We have also handled the most important takeover bids that have taken place in the Portuguese market, advising bidders, target companies and major shareholders. Our team has in-depth expertise in the area of shareholder rights, particularly in public offerings, where we provide strategic advice based on our extensive experience in these matters.
