Certified Training
Recognized as a Certified Training Entity by the Directorate-General for Employment and Labour Relations, SÉRVULO combines solid experience with a recognised quality training offering in various areas of law. The scope of the training covers not only traditional topics, but also innovative subjects brought about by technological and social change, that often require original reflections and multidisciplinary combinations.
With a team of lawyers and consultants with teaching experience from the main Portuguese universities, SÉRVULO is positioned as a partner of excellence in the design and implementation of internal and external training programmes, tailored to each organisation and its graduates.
SÉRVULO's official certification as a Training Entity is a result of the high technical standards practiced, as well as the logistics management associated with the programme.
The academic offering is theoretical and practical in nature, and is intended for individuals or legal entities, from the most diverse areas of activity.
Governance Structure
SÉRVULO considers its management model to be a key component of its overall operation as a means of ensuring transparency and efficiency. In keeping with best practice principles, the firm appoints a President of the Administrative Board alongside a Managing Partner: the President of the Administrative Board presides over the General Assembly and the Administrative Board; the Managing Partner presides over the Executive Committee, which comprises three members.
The firm’s administrative structure is complemented by a number of internal portfolios overseen by partners and associates, and which focus on business development, international relations, conflicts of interest, knowledge management, human resources, assessment, IT and social responsibility.
Sérvulo Social Responsability
In 2015, SÉRVULO began a new chapter in its commitment to social responsibility: the creation of RSSÉRVULO, which defines the firm’s social responsibility strategy, and the joining of GRACE (Corporate Social Responsibility, or Empresas Responsáveis in Portuguese) were two highly significant milestones. In what is an area of growing importance, RSSÉRVULO defines four strands of activity: pro bono legal support; volunteering; promoting gender equality and institutional participation in charitable initiatives.
All contact regarding this area should be directed to the Social Responsibility Committee via the email rsservulo@servulo.com.
