Fórum de Líderes - What do you expect from the legal market in 2024? (by Pedro Rebelo de Sousa)

"In 2024, I hope that we will not limit ourselves to facing the very difficult challenges of the social, political and economic context, nationally and international context. Above all, I hope that we can contribute to a society that is more positive, more stable and more demanding of itself. That we can help lead change, consolidating our position as an innovative and reliable reference on the global legal scene.

To do this, I would like to see a faster, more transparent and more efficient justice system, with a country that is better able to retain and promote all the positive things it has to offer, mitigating many of the negative ones. Ensuring a degree of
stability in government and legislation, of continuing to attract investment, to reward private initiative. And, in the year of the year of the 50th anniversary of 25 April, to promote inclusion and the structural reforms that have been postponed for decades! In this way, and only in this way, April will be fulfilled.

SRS Legal, aware of this dynamic, aims to be at the forefront of transformation in the sector. We anticipate an environment shaped by regulatory changes, where technological adaptation becomes imperative. At the forefront of these changes,
 we are investing significantly in innovative technologies to improve our operational efficiency and offer legal solutions that transcend our clients' expectations.

The internationalisation will continue to be a strategic priority in the market, so fostering global partnerships is essential. In our case, wherever our clients are, SRS will be there, in the palm of their hand. We anticipate that agility will be a competitive edge, which is why we are structuring SRS, equipping it with tools and teams to enable it to respond ever better to changes in the business environment and customer expectations. As we get closer to 2024, we can see a scenario in the legal permeated by challenges that we also see as unique opportunities. We are committed to maintaining an approach centred on excellence, continually adjusting our services to meet the market demands."
