SÉRVULO PUBLICATIONS 15 May 2009

Spring has arrived with significant additions to our legal team at Sérvulo, which I am happy to announce to our clients, colleagues and all other readers of this newsletter. In addition to opening a new office in Porto and announcing its plans for a further office in Ponta Delgada, SÉRVULO now has a new unit dedicated to Urban Planning, Environmental Law and Real Estate, headed by Carlos Pinto Lopes, an acknowledged expert in these fields, who has contributed an article to this newsletter on the close relationship between Environmental Law and other fields of knowledge. With this new unit the firm intends to respond to increasing demands for services and to offer our clients additional support in areas which are certain to attract particular attention and controversy in the present period of crisis. The recent announcement of a review of the legislation on environmental offences and the immediate reaction this produced is a good example of this.

Coming at this particular moment, this new addition to the Sérvulo team reflects the optimism with which we look to the future – optimism which flows from the trust our clients place in our services, and from the high standards we set for our response to their needs, especially in the current environment.
