This founding spirit, based on a solid academic foundation and a modern legal culture, has been key to developing a high-level multidisciplinary practice. With offices in Lisbon, Porto and Braga, the Portuguese team offers comprehensive advice in areas such as administrative, corporate, regulatory, tax, technology (TMT), dispute resolution and data protection, among others.

The integration with Ecija in 2017 marked a strategic turning point, incorporating the firm's international leadership in the technology, media and telecoms sectors - consistently recognised by leading European legal directories.

Since then, the growth trajectory has continued with the incorporation of specialised firms such as Vieira Advogados (2019), Jorge Carneiro & Associados (2021), Lencastre Advogados (2022), Rui Mesquita Associados (2024) and, most recently, Cruz Vilaça Advogados (2025), a leading firm in Public and EU Law. These integrations have allowed us to strengthen and broaden our value proposition, adding talent, experience and international vision.

Guided by the principles of independence, technical excellence and commitment to the client, we work with a collaborative approach, anticipating challenges and designing innovative solutions that bring real value.

Today, Antas da Cunha Ecija represents a new generation of legal advice in Portugal: an agile firm, with a European vocation and global capacity, combining in-depth knowledge of the local context with the strength of a leading international network in legal innovation.
