César Sá Esteves and Octávio Castelo Paulo, Managing Partners of SRS Legal

"1. How is your firm responding to the current challenges created by new technologies?
SRS Legal has continuously invested in technology, specifically to optimise internal processes, to enhance the skills of our professionals and to improve excellence in client service. We are investing in online collaboration platforms and the use of Artificial Intelligence solutions, and we have continually promoted in-house training in digital skills. It is essential that we know how to take advantage of the best that technology has to offer, without ever neglecting the human side that characterises us.

2. How does your firm work on attracting and retaining talent?
SRS Legal promotes an organisational culture that values professional and personal development. The existence of an objective assessment model, a transparent career plan, ongoing training programmes and fair reward systems are some of the pillars of SRS Legal's people management. We prioritise a healthy, inclusive and meritocratic working environment in order to retain and attract talent. We are also active in recruitment events at the best higher education institutions in the country, as well as keeping an eye on the labour market."
