We are delighted to welcome two new colleagues to our Portuguese firm (Porto office):
• Margarida Sampaio, who joins as Partner and will lead our Labour practice
• Cláudia Neves, who joins as Associate, working in Labour and Corporate
Margarida brings with her a strong track record, sharp judgment, and the kind of experience that strengthens a team from day one – now taking on the responsibility of developing and leading our Labour practice in Portugal.
Cláudia joins with excellent foundations and will work closely with Margarida, contributing to both Labour and Corporate teams, and adding the energy every growing team needs.
Together, they reinforce both ends of what matters: leadership and future potential – now with a clear focus on building a strong and dedicated Labour capability within the firm.
As Co-Managing Partner Luis Portela de Carvalho notes: “It is always a good sign when a team grows in a way that feels both natural and slightly disruptive – natural because of the fit, and disruptive because it raises the bar. Margarida and Cláudia bring exactly that balance, and we are very pleased to welcome them to Lektou Porto.”
We are very pleased to have them on board and look forward to what comes next. Welcome, Margarida and Cláudia! Your sucess is the success of Lektou Portugal!
