Costa Pinto is home to an ‘experienced’ team that is well positioned to advise on the full scope of corporate matters. Its diverse workload features a healthy volume of transactional work - including M&A, private equity deals, and corporate restructurings - as well as commercial contracts, corporate governance issues and shareholder agreements. José Costa Pinto, a key contact for domestic and foreign clients, sits at the helm of the practice, which is commended for its 'legal competence, dedication, problem-solving ability and client orientation'. Ana da Ponte Lopes, who joined from Banco de Portugal (Portugal's monetary authority) in February 2023, is the name to note for regulatory and compliance mandates.
