Historic attitudes favouring globalisation are fundamentally changing....
Banking and finance head Hugo Rosa Ferreira will be in charge of the office which will focus on work involving Portugal or Portuguese-speaking countries such as Angola and Mozambique. Mr Rosa Ferreira said that the firm wanted 'to be closer to our clients and to the international firms we work with regularly. We will be the link between Portuguese investors that are present on the UK or want to enter that market and potential UK investors that are very interested in Angola and Mozambique but require local references and partners.'
UK is third largest European investor in Portugal
According to Hugo Rosa Ferreira, the United Kingdom is the third largest European investor in Portugal after France and Spain and British companies have a growing interest in the Angolan and Mozambican markets, principally in the areas of energy, natural resources, mining and construction. Portuguese exports to the UK have grown over the last three years, a trend that is expected to continue, particularly in machinery, clothing and footwear, transport equipment and chemicals, he added. The office will not practise English law.
