In the Portugal chapter, VdA’s lawyers analyse the key aspects of the national legal framework, including governance structures, disclosure and communications, as well as shareholders’ and stakeholders’ rights.

The chapter also addresses current trends and challenges, with a focus on ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) integration and the impact of artificial intelligence on corporate governance.
