César Sá Esteves and Octávio Castelo Paulo are the new Managing Partners of SRS Legal

César Sá Esteves and Octávio Castelo Paulo are the new Managing Partners of the law firm SRS Legal. Pedro Rebelo de Sousa, head of the firm for the last three decades, is now Senior Partner.

César Sá Esteves had been heading up the Labour & Social Security Department and Octávio Castelo Paulo the Corporate & Finance and TMT Department. The General Meeting that elected the new members also elected a new Board of Directors, chaired by Pedro Rebelo de Sousa and made up of César Sá Esteves, Octávio Castelo Paulo, José Luís Moreira da Silva, Alexandra Valente, Gonçalo Anastácio, Alexandre Roque and Maria José de Tavares.

This is the conclusion of a meticulously planned and thoughtfully executed process to ensure a smooth and effective transition. It was first considered in 2018/19, then suspended with the pandemic and finally resumed in 2021, to prepare for the renewal of SRS Legal and ensure its future as a benchmark institution in the national legal profession. This process was accompanied by a comprehensive advanced training programme aimed at strengthening the management skills of SRS Legal's partners and equipping the firm with new leadership profiles capable of ensuring the renewal of practices and the firm's sustainability in the medium and long term. I'm extremely happy that this process has been carried out in perfect harmony, with a unanimous vote at the General Meeting. César and Octávio are respected professionals and excellent people; having been with SRS Legal since the beginning, they represent its present and its future and - I'm sure - will live up to the successful track record of this project with 30 years of experience.

"It is with a strong sense of mission and commitment, but also with great pride and enthusiasm, that we face this election. Respecting the enormous legacy of Pedro's enormous legacy, which we are committed to continuing, our mandate has the main purpose of strengthening SRS Legal as a firm of excellence in the national legal profession, consolidating its reputation and guaranteeing its future sustainability", say César Sá Esteves and Octávio Castelo Paulo.
