European funding mechanisms - including the PRR (Portugal’s Recovery and Resilience Plan), Portugal 2030 and other instruments - play a crucial role in driving investment, innovation, the energy transition and digital transformation. Their use, however, requires strict legal compliance, from eligibility of expenses and procurement procedures to milestone delivery, reporting obligations and responses to audits.

CCA advises companies, public entities, project sponsors and consortia throughout the entire funding lifecycle: from project structuring and application, to implementation, monitoring and closure, including the management of financial corrections and related litigation.

Our services include:

• Legal structuring of eligible projects and consortium models
• Support with applications and project governance
• Public procurement and contract performance
• State aid/subsidies and related competition matters
• Compliance, audits and liaison between private stakeholders and public bodies
• Administrative litigation related to funded projects
