International Counsel Desk

Portuguese counsel
for matters in Portugal.

We advise foreign companies and law firms on Portuguese law, in coordination with the team already advising the client. We work in Portuguese and English and, where a matter so requires, in German, and we coordinate with the other jurisdictions involved.

01

How we work

01

Conflict check & scope

We confirm there is no conflict and define the scope and terms in writing before starting.

02

Portuguese law

We advise on Portuguese law and handle representation and procedural management in Portugal.

03

Reporting in English

We communicate and report in English, with the regularity and detail agreed.

04

Coordination

We integrate into the existing team and coordinate with the other jurisdictions involved.

05

Deadlines & predictability

We meet deadlines and agree fee terms at the outset, with no surprises.

06

Continuity of the relationship

The client relationship stays where it belongs; the Portuguese side stays with us.

We work in Portuguese and English and, where a matter so requires, in German.
The international professional networks the firm belongs to — among them the UIA, INSOL Europe and the IBA, alongside others — support this work and also allow us to assist domestic clients on matters in other jurisdictions, ensuring continuity of the relationship and local coordination.
