Joana Almeida Gonçalves joins IR Global as an additional member in Portugal 

IR Global, the world’s largest exclusive network of advisory firms is delighted to introduce Joana Almeida Gonçalves of Bind as our exclusive Corporate Law member in Portugal.

My professional and academic activity has been focused and intensified from an early age in the field of Public Law, giving priority to Administrative Law and, in a specialized way, the subject of Public Procurement. In this context, my experience as a lawyer involves providing legal advice to both public entities and private individuals.

Throughout my career, I have directly managed hundreds of public procurement procedures, in accordance with domestic, European and international public procurement regulations, in different industry sectors, of public contracts.

I am also experienced in performing active contract and contractor management throughout the lifetime of public contracts, addressing issues such as modification of the contract, subcontracting, price review, supplier assessment, hardship, force majeure, non-conformance management, contractual breach, penalty clauses, enforcement of the security/guarantee provided by the contractor, and extrajudicial settlement of disputes.

If you have a requirement in this area, please contact Joana directly or the IR Global head office for an introduction [email protected].
