When our company faced a sensitive and complex employment termination issue involving a key executive based in our Porto office, the legal intricacies felt overwhelming. We needed counsel who understood both Portuguese labor law and could communicate effectively with our New York headquarters. Joana de Sá was recommended to us, and her involvement was transformative. Her deep, practical knowledge of Labor and Employment Law was immediately evident. She meticulously guided us through the Portuguese legal requirements, explaining each step with clarity and foresight, which was crucial given our unfamiliarity with the local system.

We felt genuinely represented and supported. For any business facing employment challenges in Portugal, Joana de Sá is an exceptional and highly skilled advocate.
