Furthermore, on the field of tax law our partner Dr. Gabriela Pinheiro (Lawyer and a Professor of Higher Education) was awarded the "Reader's Choice - Tax Law Firm of the Year in Portugal". Nowadays, the importance of this field has become more acute. Not only several legal reforms had taken place both on corporate tax (IRC) and individual’s tax (IRS), but also these reforms were followed by a general increase on tax burden on companies and individuals, justifying an urgent and effective tax planning, within the parameters allowed by the law.
Regarding the year of 2016, we will continue focus on the judicial activity, given that the new Government has announced new reforms, particularly on tax, labour and public procurement law and the transposition/implementation of important European instruments, especially the Directive 2014/104/EU “Private Enforcement”, concerning damages legal claims for infringements of competition law, under national law.
