Companies and business

ForBusinessesThird sector

A company lives on decisions that always have a legal dimension: whom it partners with, how it contracts, how it protects what it creates, how it collects what it is owed. We advise shareholders and managers from the incorporation of the company through to reorganisation transactions, with contracts designed for the specific business.

What we do

  • Incorporation of companies; amendments to the articles of association, minutes and appointment of managers and directors
  • Capital increases and reductions, mergers, demergers, conversions, dissolution and liquidation
  • Shareholders’ agreements, transfers of quotas, shareholder loans and the entry or exit of shareholders
  • Commercial contracts: services, agency, franchising, consortium, joint venture and confidentiality agreements
  • Banking contracts and security: loans, documentary credit, surety insurance, bank guarantees, mortgages, pledges, personal guarantees and aval
  • Review and negotiation of contracts proposed by the other party
  • Debt recovery: formal demand, payment arrangements, payment order procedure (injunção) and enforcement proceedings
  • Business recovery and insolvency (special revitalisation process (PER) and out-of-court business recovery regime (RERE))
