SRS Legal integrates LSM Advogados
SRS Legal has incorporated LSM Advogados, a boutique law firm specializing in advising public and private entities with a focus on competition and European union law, economic regulation and financial supervision. LSM also advises on corporate law, and administrative, economic and public procurement law.
The integration, says SRS, “pays tribute to the outstanding career of its recently deceased founder, Professor Luís Silva Morais (1966–2024), one of the most prominent figures in European Union law and financial regulation in Portugal and abroad”.
LSM’s work is focused on three core areas: litigation with a focus on competition and regulatory law — at national and European level; consulting and legal opinions; and the setting-up and review of corporate governance and compliance models. Its founder, Silva Morais, was a professor at the Faculty of Law of the University of Lisbon, holder of the Jean Monnet Chair, arbitrator, expert and lawyer with experience in economic regulation, financial supervision and representation of the Portuguese Republic before the Court of Justice of the European Union.
SRS’s new members
Cristina Homem Ferreira Morais, partner at LSM, now joins SRS Legal as of counsel. With experience in legal and regulatory advice to public and private entities and a career built in law, she has been a legal advisor and lawyer at the Multinational Group ABB (Asea Brown Boveri) in Portugal, where she also held responsibilities in the Human Resources Department.
Also coming from LSM Advogados, Lúcio Tomé Feteira, specialized in competition law and financial regulation in Portugal, joins SRS Legal as of counsel. He has previously collaborated with SRS between 2002 and 2003, at the then Simmons & Simmons Rebelo de Sousa. He also worked at Soares Machado & Associados (a firm that also joined SRS Legal in 2010). He has been with LSM Advogados since 2015 and is an associate professor at Nova School of Law since then.
According to César Sá Esteves and Octávio Castelo Paulo, managing partners, “this represents not only a technical reinforcement of strategic areas of SRS Legal, and of our links with academia, but also the continuation of a legacy that transcends the legal sphere”.
