Morais Leitão has recently established a strategic partnership in Macau with the law firm Lupi & Associados, reinforcing its international strategy within the Portuguese speaking space and, in particular, along the China–Africa axis, a corridor of growing relevance in the current landscape of international economic relations.
Macau plays a key role as a platform connecting China and Portuguese speaking countries, acting as a privileged hub for Chinese investors with interests in Africa, as well as for African groups developing operations with Chinese partners.
This partnership aims to ensure integrated and coordinated legal support for cross border transactions involving Portugal, Macau, mainland China, several African jurisdictions and Timor Leste, with particular focus on the renewable energy and oil & gas sectors in Portuguese speaking countries and sub Saharan Africa, mining in Angola, Mozambique and Timor Leste, infrastructure projects across the African continent, life sciences, namely pharmaceutical manufacturing, as well as immigration matters relating to high net worth individuals.
With an established presence in Singapore, Timor Leste and now Macau, Morais Leitão provides integrated coverage of the APAC region, strengthening its capacity to deliver high value legal services to clients in the region, in close coordination with its international network.
