Eversheds Sutherland has appointed a new board of directors in Portugal for the 2026–2028 term. The new board is composed of Gonçalo da Cunha, as chairman, Rodrigo Almeida Dias, reconfirmed as managing partner (corporate and M&A, and real estate and planning), Marta Afonso Pereira (employment and pensions), Dirce Rente (criminal, regulatory offences and compliance), Diogo Bernardo Monteiro (tax), and João Robles (corporate and M&A).

The strategy for the new term focuses on the digitalisation of processes and on anticipating the needs of a market undergoing profound transformation.
