Family Business

Family-run businesses are distinct from other companies. The interests and concerns that inform their development and operation are more complex and require special approach and understanding. Multiple interrelated legal issues are at play in the definition of a global business strategy and in the management of day-to-day matters, spanning issues related to corporate law, governance, taxation, asset management, investment, family organisation and succession, among others, which only an integrated service can handle effectively.

This type of company represents a very significant component of the Portuguese, as well as the European and international, business fabric.

We provide specific and specialised knowledge and advice on this distinct business and social reality, in tandem with VdA’s other complementary areas of practice, always with the family perspective and concerns in mind.
