CMS Portugal appoints four new Managing Associates

André Gaspar (Tax), André Guimarães (Corporate M&A), Sofia Costa Lobo and Tiago de Magalhães (both from Employment, Labour & Pensions) are the four new Managing Associates at CMS Portugal.

“The appointments of these four lawyers as Managing Associates reflect recognition of the professional merit that has characterised their careers and which exemplify well what it means to be a CMS lawyer: being committed to one’s career, delivering work of excellence to clients that deserves their trust”, says José Luís Arnaut, Managing Partner of CMS Portugal.

André Gaspar focuses his practice on tax litigation, advising on tax audits and tax proceedings at the administrative, judicial, arbitral, constitutional, and European levels. In the course of his work, he represents clients before the Tax Authority and the courts, whilst also providing legal assistance in related matters, particularly regarding indirect taxes and the taxation of individuals’ income.

André Guimarães works primarily in capital markets, M&A and private equity, advising on transactions involving the acquisition and disposal of companies, corporate restructuring and the structuring of partnerships at both national and international levels.

Sofia Costa Lobo has played a notable role in providing employment law advice on M&A transactions, specialising in transfers of undertakings and due diligence.

Tiago de Magalhães is a member of the ESG Task Force team, where he has been developing and advising on national and international projects focused on salary transparency and pay equity.
