Mafalda Barreto highlights the opportunities and anticipates the challenges that the legal sector will face in 2025 | Jornal de Negócios
9 of January, 2025
Mafalda Barreto, Gómez-Acebo & Pombo Portugal’s managing partner, is optimistic about 2025, predicting a significant recovery in the mergers and acquisitions market.
After a slowdown in 2024, Mafalda Barreto expects that strategic sectors such as infrastructure, real estate and green energy will attract investment to the Portuguese M&A market.
However, she emphasises that law firms will face ‘a combination of challenges resulting from the intensification of the regulatory context’, particularly with regard to generative artificial intelligence and ESG metrics.
