China’s business relationship with Portugal and Lusophone Africa is evolving rapidly especially under the New Silk Road strategy. With our China Desk in Portugal, we offer legal advice and a complete service to our Chinese clients in diverse industries and practices areas. Our team also includes Chinese speaking lawyers able to assist and communicate with Chinese clients directly.

In the last decade, the internationalisation and expansion of Chinese entities has intensified in different areas including pharmaceutical, energy, real estate, telecommunications and the banking sectors.

Due to its strategic position, Portugal is the ideal entry point to Europe and to the Portuguese-speaking world, having been a part, from its inception, of the “Belt and Road Initiative” launched by the Chinese government for economic and infrastructure development. We are also able to assist our Chinese clients in the Lusophone countries, due to our cross-border collaboration with the Morais Leitão Legal Circle network offices in Angola (ALC Advogados), Mozambique (MDR Advogados) and Cape Verde (VPQ Advogados).
