JLA Advogados, through its international partners, also ensures the necessary legal support at both national and international levels, with the capacity to advise and provide services on matters involving multiple legal systems.

​

In 2010, JLA Advogados established a strategic partnership with Abreu Advogados — one of Portugal’s most prestigious law firms — intending to offer clients integrated legal solutions across the Mozambican and Portuguese markets.

United by shared values, philosophy, and working methods, both firms benefit from an international decision-making framework that enables them to deliver innovative, consistent, and tailored responses to the specific needs of each client.

​

Thanks to this collaborative model, the joint team provides national and international legal support across a range of practice areas, with particular emphasis on:

​

• Energy and Natural Resources: project design, licensing, and financing, as well as advisory services on exploration and production;

• Infrastructure and Civil Construction: EPC contracts, public-private partnerships, and risk management;

• Public and Environment: impact assessments, environmental licensing, and regulatory compliance;

• Finance and Capital Markets: debt issuance, public offerings, and banking advisory;

• Corporate and M&A: mergers, acquisitions, and corporate group restructurings;

• Tourism and Retail: contracts, franchising, and the development of tourism projects.

 

Through its internationalisation strategy, Abreu Advogados aims to offer its clients integrated legal services aligned with their strategic needs in Portuguese-speaking countries and markets.

​

By joining LEX Africa — the continent’s largest legal alliance, with over 700 lawyers operating across Africa — JLA Advogados further strengthens its deep understanding of the Mozambican market, while also gaining the capacity to act across the Portuguese-speaking African region and beyond, ensuring high-quality local and cross-border solutions.

​

This ecosystem of international partnerships enables JLA Advogados to offer its clients a truly global service, without losing the proximity and understanding of local realities, thereby ensuring excellence in the delivery of legal advice across multiple jurisdictions.
