About

LEKTOU is a law office located in the Macau special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China which began operations in 1985.

With more than 40 years of legal practice in Macau, its strong professional and academic profile, together with its long experience and full integration within the region, is a guarantee of the quality of the services offered by the firm.

Additionally, the permanent update and specialisation, combined with the proven professional practice in the different areas of law, allows the firm to offer a prompt, effective and efficient response to its clients.

The office is part of a joint legal venture in China’s Guangdong Macau in-depth cooperation zone in Hengqin and Shenzhen - ZLF Law Office, which is focused on corporate, M&A as well as banking and finance as its primary areas of practice, bringing together over 2,000 lawyers.

Besides mainland China, Lektou also opened an office in Portugal, aiming to become a legal player in the platform between PRC and the Portuguese-speaking countries.

The firm has joined the Miranda Alliance as part of the firm's strategy to provide continuous legal services of high quality to its Asia Pacific region clients, particularly in China, and an important factor to connect the bridge between China and the Portuguese speaking countries and other jurisdictions where the Alliance is present.
