Consultores em Gestão de Sociedades de Advogados
Since 2009 I have run annual law firm management seminars in Lisboa – normally in April or May, or in the autumn.
In recent years these have focused on:
- financial management
- new partners
- business development and marketing
- people management skills and leadership
- Lexcel
The seminars can also be run in house.

Comments by delegates:
“Numa altura de novos desafios, foi muito útil a partilha de experiências e in put da necessidade de um Business Plan”
“Estas acções de formação revelam utilidade na análise comparativa nacional e internacional das opções que diariamente tomamos, e suas repercussões na vida das nossas sociedades.”
Our seminars:
- are held at the Hotel Marquês de Pombal on Avenida da Liberdade
- numbers are limited to a maximum of 15 on each seminar and are often under 6
- are designed for partners, other advogados, team leaders, practice managers
- encourage group discussion – they provide an excellent opportunity for exchange of ideas amongst delegates
- all seminars are in English
I have provided in house management skills training and consultancy for several firms – one of the leading firms in Portugal and smaller commercial firms. All were based in Lisboa. Our consultancy and training has focused on:
- business development skills and marketing for advogados
- developing strategy and a shared vision
- a review of management and leadership
- developments in the UK legal sector that might be replicated in Portugal
- an understanding of UK management techniques that might be appropriate for Portuguese firms
- financial analysis, especially departmental profitability
- the development of niche areas of work
In many respects firms in Portugal face the same pressures as those in the UK and Ireland – pressure on fees, a squeeze on margins, and the difficilty managing and leading a law firm..
