Within the scope of the virtual roundtable organized by the directory of the International League of Leaders, Martim Bouza Serrano, Partner and Coordinator of CCA's Technology, Media and Telecommunications Department, shared his opinion on the opportunities and challenges that the COVID-19 crisis has caused in law firms that provide legal advice in the technology sector in Portugal.

According to the CCA partner, one of the main challenges that lawyers in the technology sector face is the need to be the first to recognize and advise on an unprecedented problem. He further adds that another difficulty results from “bad” legislation, for which there was no time to examine the problems raised by its weak legal solidity. The lack of specialized courts and often the scarcity of jurisprudence in the sector also makes it difficult to ensure that they understand the case at hand.
