We are very pleased to announce two well-deserved promotions within our Portuguese law firm (Porto office):
Luis Portela de Carvalho has been promoted to Co-Managing Partner of Lektou Portugal
Rodrigo Sá Pereira has been promoted to Senior Associate
Different roles, different stages – but a common denominator: consistency, commitment, and the ability to deliver when it matters.
Luís has been instrumental in shaping our Portuguese operations, combining strategic vision with the rare ability to keep things moving forward (even when some are still debating the finer points).
Rodrigo’s promotion reflects a quieter, but equally important trajectory – built on reliability, solid work, and a growing role within the team.
These promotions are not just milestones. They are part of a broader effort to strengthen our Portuguese team, in particular our Porto office, with leadership and continuity.
Our Managing Partner, Pedro Cortés commented “I could not be more pleased with these promotions. Luís represents leadership and innovation in the truest sense, and Rodrigo is a clear example of the kind of talent we value, seek to develop and retain. If this is what “business as usual” looks like, we are on the right track.”
Congratulations to both – very well deserved!
