Garrigues is currently the largest law firm on Continental Europe. Its ranking and origins have meant that Portugal has always warranted special attention from Garrigues.
The adhesion of Portugal and Spain to the European Community boosted and strengthened even further the bond between the nations of the Iberian Peninsula, the interdependence of their economies and the active intervention of the companies in this extended economic space. Garrigues, driven by its innovative, developing and permanent client-orientated spirit, soon felt the need to accompany its clients –albeit Portuguese, Spanish or international companies– in engaging in their business activities in Iberian space. Hence, in 1992 Garrigues was the pioneer in establishing in Portugal an integrated structure in which Portuguese, Spanish, English and Brazilian lawyers united their potentiality and ability to render an integral legal service.
In 2005, Garrigues opened its own law firm in Lisbon, where its 60-year plus know-how and the values it pursues, backed the Portuguese lawyers, giving rise to a professional practice with a real Iberian dimension and nature and a clear international vocation, fully identified with the values of national law. At present, Garrigues has one hundred professionals in Portugal and offices in Lisbon and Porto.
With the largest network of offices on the Iberian Peninsula, Garrigues is present in Portugal with lawyers who know the national market but also have a global vision, which means that the advice given has added value for the companies active on the Portuguese market, irrespective of their origin. Through Garrigues, Cunha Ferreira Lda., Garrigues also offers its clients the most complete range of industrial property services (

Likewise, Garrigues, through its Iberian and international network, has secured a privileged position for advising Portuguese companies that wish to operate on the international arena, providing the same level of service, irrespective of the jurisdiction in which such companies engage in their business activities.
