The president of the Association of Portuguese Law Firms (ASAP) and partner at SRS Legal echoed the messages shared by the other speakers, but left a warning about the cost and rapid evolution. In other words, investing heavily in software or digital tools that are completely out of date after a few months.
In addition, in the case of law firms that have been working with these systems for several years, it took time for them to learn the Portuguese language and then Portuguese law, said José Luís Moreira da Silva. ‘Watch out for the data that clients have given to companies in confidence and don't want to see disseminated through digital platforms without cybersecurity,’ warned the president of ASAP and partner at SRS Legal, in the session moderated by Nuno Vinha, deputy director of JE.
