Morais Leitão is participating in the 2nd edition of the Doing Business in Emerging Markets: A Legal Approach Postgraduate Programme, organised by the Faculty of Law of Universidade Católica Portuguesa, which will run online from October 2026 to March 2027.

With a practical and multidisciplinary approach, the programme aims to provide an integrated perspective on the key legal aspects associated with investment in emerging markets, while also fostering an understanding of the economic, cultural, social and political dynamics that shape these economies.

The partnership is aligned with Morais Leitão’s internationalisation strategy and the Firm’s commitment to developing knowledge and supporting the qualification of professionals in the field of international business.
