Digital Law

Portuguese

The digital transformation of organisations and society brings new legal challenges: risks regarding security and use of data, growing presence in the digital and information world and increased valorisation of intangible assets. Specialised legal advice is therefore essential. CCR Legal guarantees the provision of comprehensive, multidisciplinary and integrated legal advice, which anticipates the main challenges and promotes the appropriate solutions to the digital economy.
