Public Services
Lawyers and solicitors unite against illicit legal practice
The Bar Association (OA) and the Order of Solicitors and Enforcement Agents (OSAE) launched a joint awareness campaign, "Tem de estar em Ordem", to warn the public about hiring unqualified individuals for legal services. They have launched a digital platform (temdeestaremordem.pt) where the public can verify a professional's registration before hiring them, highlighting risks such as lack of technical qualification, ethics, and professional liability insurance.
Why it matters
If you are looking for legal services in Portugal, you can now verify if your lawyer or solicitor is officially registered using their new website to avoid scams and ensure you have professional guarantees like liability insurance.Useful?
