Abreu Advogados and CLT establish regional partnership in Guimarães

Abreu Advogados has signed a regional partnership agreement with CLT – Sociedade de Advogados, a law firm based in Guimarães, strengthening its strategy of proximity to the business community and private clients across Portugal.

This partnership will create synergies between CLT and Abreu Advogados’ offices in Lisbon, Porto and Madeira, as well as with its presence in Portuguese-speaking countries. Its aim is to ensure that clients of both firms have access to specialised legal services, consolidated support in their matters and local representation that is closer, more efficient and tailored to their needs.

According to Inês Sequeira Mendes, Managing Partner of Abreu Advogados, “the partnership between Abreu Advogados and CLT is an important step in the path Abreu Advogados has been following to strengthen national coverage for its clients. This partnership allows clients in the North region to benefit from specialised services at national and international level, preparing them for the challenges of the future and responding to their concerns through a global and multidisciplinary team.”

André Coelho Lima, Managing Partner of CLT, also highlights the significance of the agreement: “This partnership represents a strong commitment to CLT’s growth, opening up new possibilities and horizons for a corporate project that has, until now, had a regional base, thereby facilitating its national and international expansion. It also represents an opportunity to provide a broader and more specialised range of services to our clients. This partnership is established between two entities and two projects that remain distinct, but whose purpose is to enable the assessment of increasing and progressive integration.”

With more than two decades of experience, CLT – Sociedade de Advogados has consolidated its activity across several areas of law, with a strategic and personalised approach. The firm prioritises preventive legal advice, providing efficient responses tailored to the needs of its clients.

In recent years, Abreu Advogados has developed strategic partnerships with local, regional and international law firms, promoting synergies and broad professional relationships. These regional partnerships enable a faster, more comprehensive and distinctive response, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises, which play a central role in the development of the national and international economy.

In Portugal, Abreu Advogados currently has offices in Lisbon, Porto and Madeira.
