Lawyer Rankings

Portugal > EU and competition

With ‘high technical knowledge, experience and strong practical sense’, the team at TELLES boasts an impressive track record in merger control filings before the PCA and the European Commission. Counting domestic and international companies among its clients, the practice is proficient in horizontal and vertical agreements, abuse of dominant position cases, and cartels. Following the departure of Joaquim Caimoto Duarte in December 2022, the practice is now jointly steered by Leyre Prieto and Margarida Rosado da Fonseca: Prieto is well versed in compliance issues and merger controls, while Fonseca, who joined in May 2023 from CS’Associados, is regularly involved in high-profile transactional matters and interactions with the competition authorities.
