Armando Ferreira Martins and Hugo Teixeira co-author article on new transaction control rules

Armando Ferreira Martins and Hugo Teixeira are the authors of the article “Investing in Portugal: What has changed with the new transaction control rules”, published in the newsletter of the Portuguese-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCILA).

In the article, the authors analyse the recent evolution of the European framework applicable to operations involving foreign capital and the impact of these changes on investors seeking to carry out transactions in Portugal.

The article explains that, in addition to traditional merger control, transactions may now be subject to two additional layers of scrutiny: foreign direct investment (FDI) screening and the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR).

Armando Ferreira Martins and Hugo Teixeira highlight the importance of early regulatory assessment in investment transactions, as well as the proper preparation of documentation and prior evaluation of potential notification requirements, in order to reduce risks and ensure greater predictability in investment processes.
