Sérvulo launches new defence and security department

SÉRVULO NA IMPRENSA 25 Fev 2026 in Iberian Lawyer

Sérvulo has consolidated a new specialised team for legal advice in defence and security to support strategic decision-making in complex and sensitive regulatory contexts.

International instability, hybrid risks and cyber threats, as well as the need for European strategic autonomy, have led to a significant increase in public and private investment in the sector of defence and security, states Sérvulo. “In Portugal, growing participation in international cooperative programmes, the development of industrial and technological capabilities, and the increasing sophistication of the regulatory framework applicable to public procurement, export controls, compliance and information security pose new legal challenges for companies and public entities operating in this strategic domain”, states the law firm.

To address these needs, the new multidisciplinary team combines legal expertise with institutional awareness and is oordinated by partner Francisca Mendes da Costa. It also includes lawyers Daniel Castro Neves (public), José Guilherme Gomes (financial), Nuno Temudo Vieira (litigation), Lénia Carolina Sousa (tax) and Pedro Zincke dos Reis (M&A).
