Opportunities and achievements

Invest in your future

From your first day at our firm, you will be part of teams which are dedicated to serving clients from many business sectors. Our clients include multinational companies listed on the Global 1000 and Fortune 500, many of the 100 largest companies in Portugal, start-ups developing market-leading technologies, and public and government entities. Innovation and radical change are essential components of our strategy. Our success in these areas was recognised by the Financial Times in 2021 through the FT Innovative Lawyers Europe Awards.

Action on climate change

In 2021 we launched our eMission 2030 campaign, focused on ensuring our people are kept up-to-date with our actions to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Our target is to halve our emissions by 2030, compared to 2019/20 pre-pandemic levels.

As part of this commitment, we also established a network of eMission 2030 Champions. These champions provide local support for our environmental and climate change efforts, and inspire action in their local offices, including our office in Lisbon.

Supporting our communities

We are committed to supporting people in need in our communities through our pro bono activities, and further initiatives which demonstrate our commitment to being a responsible business. Our focus is on displaced people, asylum seekers and refugees across the world. We support access to justice, help to empower people to advocate for their rights, and facilitate access to resettlement and economic opportunities. We also support climate justice and conservation.
