WHAT THE FIRM SAYS

VdA is a Portuguese independent firm with 156 lawyers, with offices in Lisbon, Porto, Madeira and Mozambique. The firm is deeply rooted in the local business community and has been involved in most landmark deals in Portugal in the last 20 years, having along the way developed privileged relationships with the most reputed international and global law firms.

We work as a team with our clients and draw from our experience to create innovative, solid, business-oriented solutions, with high quality and seamless service.

VdA is a national firm, covering the whole of Portugal and with a deep knowledge of the local business environment. But our reach has naturally expanded to other Portuguese-speaking countries where the firm has worked extensively. And a very significant part of our work is international, as a result of the strong international client base and the continuing expansion of major Portuguese companies abroad. We constantly team up with firms from jurisdictions all over the world in many types of projects and transactions, and VdA secondees are regularly placed in some of the best law firms in major financial centres.

Our continuing effort to provide top quality service to clients, coupled with the growing Latin American and African focus of the Portuguese economy, led us to enter into strategic partnership arrangements with top firms from Brazil, Argentina and Mozambique.

VdA is extremely proud of its commitment towards its people and the community, via the pioneering VdAcademy and our Pro Bono & Corporate Responsibility initiative.
