DLA Piper is preparing the relocation of its offices in Portugal

The global law firm DLA Piper is preparing to relocate its office in Portugal. DLA Piper Portugal’s new building will be located in Praça Marquês de Pombal, in Lisbon, and is expected to be completed on the second half of 2027.

The building is owned by Fundimo – Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário Aberto, managed and represented by Caixa Gestão de Ativos, SGOIC, S.A., with whom DLA Piper has maintained a relationship for over 18 years. Over the past two years, both entities have been working together on the planning of the full refurbishment of this building, with a total area of 4,500 sqm, located at Praça Marquês de Pombal, numbers 15 and 16.

DLA Piper Portugal’s new office represents the consolidation of a trajectory of sustained growth in Portugal and a clear sign of its strategic commitment to the Portuguese market. The new office will be refurbished in accordance with the most demanding criteria of innovation and sustainability, acting as a catalyst for collaborative work and as a leverage in Portugal for the other 40 countries, across 5 continents, in which DLA Piper is present.

Nuno Azevedo Neves, Country Managing Partner of DLA Piper Portugal, comments: “We are looking forward to move to a building with a unique location in Lisbon — at Praça Marquês de Pombal — which we can shape in line with our international standards of innovation and sustainability and which, on one hand, represents our growth in Portugal and, on the other hand, projects our ambition for the future, highlighting the geostrategic importance that our country assumes in the international, economic and financial landscape. I am confident that this space will offer an experience of excellence to our Clients, our team, and our community”.

Luís Filipe Carvalho, Head of Real Estate of DLA Piper Portugal, highlights “the complexity of the project and the construction works, on a unique and stand-alone asset in the center of Praça Marquês de Pombal, without contiguous buildings, providing a future positioning of excellence to DLA Piper in Portugal.”

Sérgio Meireles, Head of Real Estate Investment at Caixa Gestão de Ativos, states: “DLA Piper has been a tenant of the Fundimo Fund for over 18 years and this decision to continue to place its trust in one of the Fund’s assets, for its new headquarters in Portugal, represents a strong vote of confidence in a relationship built over time based on proximity, high standards, and strategic alignment. The choice of this building at Praça Marquês de Pombal — a truly distinctive asset, fully refurbished, with scale, centrality, and standards of excellence at the highest level — materializes the Fund’s long-term vision and consolidates this property as another relevant asset in its portfolio. It is particularly rewarding to see this historic relationship now extend into yet another emblematic project, sealing the continuity of the partnership between the Fundimo Fund and DLA Piper.”
