Law for Businesses and Investments

⦁ Corporate and Company Law:We provide full support throughout the lifecycle of commercial companies, from their incorporation (private limited companies, public limited companies, etc.), under the Portuguese Companies Code, to mergers, demergers, and acquisitions (M&A), restructuring, and corporate governance.

⦁ Digital Law and Startups:We support your innovative business, ensuring compliance with the "Startup Law" (Law No. 21/2023) to access benefits, adherence to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and protection of your intellectual property.

⦁ Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies:Navigate the new digital paradigm with confidence. We offer consulting on the tax regime for crypto-assets (Law No. 24-D/2022), compliance with anti-money laundering regulations (Law No. 83/2017), and adaptation to the new European MiCA Regulation.

⦁ National and International Contracts:We safeguard your interests by drafting, negotiating, and reviewing contracts in accordance with the Civil Code and international conventions, mitigating risks and preventing disputes.

⦁ Compliance and Due Diligence:We implement compliance programs to mitigate regulatory risks, with a special focus on anti-money laundering. We conduct due diligence processes for investment, M&A, and real estate transactions.

⦁ Tax Law:We offer strategic tax planning and representation in tax litigation. Our counsel covers Corporate Income Tax (IRC), Personal Income Tax (IRS), VAT, and other taxes, optimizing your tax burden in compliance with Portuguese legislation.
