MSNF is an association of independent lawyers, with strong ties to the academia and past experience in law firms, as well as in governmental offices and public entities. The establishment of the association arises from the convergence of different lawyers with expertise in complementary areas, focused on legal solutions and innovative strategies.
We assist our clients in a direct and customized manner, promoting the extinction of costs of context arising from intermediate layers and the shifting of interface. A tailor-made approach is privileged, varying according to the situation, type and nature of client, accommodating the necessary management of reputational risks, so frequent in today’s society, whether in the relationship with the media, sovereign bodies or the general public.
We provide specialized advice on matters related with the constitutional, european and legal framework of sector and economic regulation, namely in the strategic and highly regulated sectors of telecommunications, energy, health, water, sewerage and waste management.
We advise public and private entities in all phases of the procedures, ranging from the initial structuring and organization to the support in the different stages, namely in the hearings of interested parties, administrative complaints and appeals.
The knowledge and rigor in matters of General Administrative Law, resulting from the combination of professional experience with academia and research, is implemented in the different particular domains, including on the licensing of operations and activities. In the complex area of Public Procurement, we provide specific assistance in the preparation of procedural documents, in the case of public entities, and of hearings and complaints by candidates and competitors. The procedural dimension is complemented, in both cases, with a close monitoring and support on events connected to the execution of administrative contracts and with the representation in pre-contractual and contractual litigation.
We have extensive professional and academic experience in tax and economic law matters.
We provide legal advice on taxes, charges and contributions in favor of public entities, namely those associated with economic and tariff regulation.

Our assistance in Banking Law results from the knowledge of the banking sector, fruit of the experience gained in regulatory authorities, covering all regulatory and sanctioning aspects.
We advise clients in the pre-litigation and negotiation phases, as well as in public and private litigation, with a special focus on protecting the interests of the represented parties and on the management of the risks involved.
