· The deal places the firm led by José Vicente Morote among the largest firms in the Portuguese market, with combined revenue of around €23 million.
· The integration adds four new practice areas in Portugal and strengthens Andersen’s presence in sectors such as energy, infrastructure, property, finance and healthcare.
Andersen in Iberia is integrating PRA – Raposo, Sá Miranda & Associados, a Portuguese firm founded in 2001 with a strong national presence and a turnover exceeding €15 million. With this integration, Andersen in Iberia now has over 700 professionals, 129 of whom are partners, and achieves a combined turnover projected at over €110 million in 2026.
In Portugal, Andersen’s combined turnover following the integration amounts to €23 million, consolidating Andersen Portugal as one of the leading firms in the Portuguese market.
PRA’s partners are integrated into Andersen’s structure, whilst the remaining professionals join the various practice areas according to their specialisation.
The transaction also reflects a strategy of sector-specific specialisation. Over more than two decades, PRA has developed teams specialising in key sectors of the Portuguese economy — corporate, energy, infrastructure, real estate, the financial sector, technology and advising private companies on their dealings with public authorities — with in-depth knowledge of the regulatory dynamics and key players in each industry.
José Vicente Morote, Managing Partner of Andersen in Iberia, stated that “this operation strengthens our operational capacity in Spain and Portugal and consolidates us as a leading legal services platform in the Iberian market”. The Managing Partner of Andersen in Iberia added that “this is a milestone for the sector across the Iberian Peninsula and represents a true turning point in our growth strategy”, explaining that “this integration responds to a shared conviction: that the future of legal consultancy excellence lies with solid, fully integrated firms, with complete alignment of values, standards and processes”.
Pedro Raposo and Miguel Miranda, respectively Chairman and Managing Partner of PRA, will join the Board of Directors of Andersen in Iberia, with Pedro Raposo serving as Vice-Chairman.
In the words of Pedro Raposo, “this is a natural step for our team, because we share the same way of working: absolute commitment to the client, always based on excellence and professionalism”, and he emphasised that “the merger allows us to combine our capabilities, strengthen our specialisation and offer clients even more robust and agile support in Portugal and the Iberian Peninsula”.
