At Morais Leitão we regularly provide advice to a large number of companies, including multinationals, startups and SMEs, in all areas pertaining to labour relations, both in a consultancy capacity and in litigation before labor courts.
In line with recent developments in the Portuguese economy, we have been providing advice to multiple clients in operations related to the transfer of undertakings and establishments, mainly through mergers, acquisitions and outsourcing. We have also increasingly assisted with relocations, remote working, negotiating collective agreements, due diligence – including preventive due diligence – and training clients.
It is equally important to note our close involvement in restructuring processes, namely by participating in the non-contentious and contentious phases of collective lay-offs and redundancies.
The team is also increasingly involved in participating in and coordinating multi-jurisdictional projects.
Our team has extensive and consolidated experience in the most important and current areas of labour relations, such as the protection of industrial and intellectual property, the conventions on confidentiality and non-competition, and the models of assistance provision and complementary benefits established by the public system of social security.
The team also advises on immigration and nationality – areas with growing demand, relevance and challenges.
"The team of lawyers is highly specialised and dedicated, offering effective legal solutions based on careful analysis and tailored strategies."
