Chambers – Corporate & Commercial 2026 Guide

GFDL Advogados has once again been selected by Chambers and Partners to author a Portugal chapter, following its contributions to the Fintech 2026 and Litigation 2026 guides. The latest is the Corporate & Commercial 2026 Global Practice Guide, now published online.

The guide compares how each covered jurisdiction regulates business entities, from corporate governance and shareholder rights through to M&A, capital markets, commercial contracts and foreign investment. This edition extends to employment, secured transactions, ESG obligations and the regulation of AI.

The Portugal chapter covers the full sequence from choice of vehicle and incorporation to secured financing, merger control, foreign investment screening and commercial real estate, in the guide’s question-and-answer format, so that the Portuguese position can be read alongside other jurisdictions.

The chapter was written by João G. Gil Figueira, Rodrigue Devillet Lima and Catarina Andrade Miranda.
