Cláudia Cruz Almeida, Head Partner of VdA’s Corporate and M&A practice, shares her perspective on the evolution of the Portuguese M&A market in an article published by Advocatus.
In the article, she notes that there is a disconnect between the published market figures and the reality of transactions, particularly in the mid-market segment. The VdA Partner also highlights that foreign investment remains a structural pillar of the Portuguese M&A market, supported by the country’s political stability, European integration, business-friendly environment and the availability of high-quality assets in strategic sectors. Cláudia Cruz Almeida further notes that several significant transactions are currently being prepared or are at an advanced stage of negotiation, and expresses a positive outlook for the second half of the year, underpinned by strong market fundamentals and a robust transaction pipeline.
