SÉRVULO has long been recognised as a leading public law practitioner on the Portuguese legal scene. The firm’s prowess is a product of an outstanding blend of academic, scientific and legal knowledge, and the highly-skilled manner in which partners and associates put that knowledge into practice. SÉRVULO has one of the largest public law teams in Portugal and can lay claim to unparalleled levels of expertise and experience in the sector, a distinction recognised by the legal community, economic operators and international legal directories.

Over the years, SÉRVULO has accumulated vast and recognised experience in the area of public procurement and in the execution of public contracts. The firm’s lawyers took part in the drafting of the Portuguese Public Contracts Code and all associated legislation, which gives SÉRVULO a wealth of expertise when formulating contracts, structuring procedures and defending the interests of private tenderers and private contracting parties. The firm also advises on the execution, implementation and renegotiation of concessions and PPPs.

Simultaneously, SÉRVULO leans on its comprehensive substantive law expertise to provide a specialised team dedicated to administrative law litigation cases, in all their guises. The firm also commits significant resources to administrative law arbitrations, in which the firm’s lawyers act as counsels or arbitrators, depending on the nature of the case.
