The Lawyer Network is delighted to announce that Luís Brito Correia of 'Luís Brito Correia Advogados' has joined the Lawyer Network. Luís has joined the Lawyer Network as our exclusive Civil Law member in Portugal.
The Law of Portugal is the legal system that applies in Portugal. The Portuguese legal system is a civil law or continental legal system, based on Roman law. It is similar to other civil law legal systems found in other European countries such as France, Italy, Spain and Germany. Up to the end of the 19th century French law was the main influence, but since the decisive works of Guilherme Moreira on Civil Law (Instituições de Direito Civil, published from 1906 to 1916) the major influence has been German law. EU law is now a major driving force in many respects, such as corporate law, administrative law and civil procedure. The main laws include the Constitution (1976, as amended) the Civil Code (1966, as amended) and the Penal Code (1982, as amended). Other relevant laws are the Commercial Code (1888, as amended) and the Civil Procedure Code (1961, as amended).
