Oiça a estreia do novo podcast da VdA e do JE, “A quem de Direito” A VdA Vieira de Almeida e o Jornal Económico (JE) lançam o novo podcast “A Quem de Direito”, um conjunto de episódios em que serão abordados temas como economia azul, agronegócio, governance, mercado de capitais e Inteligência Artificial. O primeiro episódio conta com a participação de Hugo Moredo Santos e intitula-se “Mercado de Capitais a bater recordes em Portugal”. Os primeiros seis meses do ano foram marcados por um número recorde de emissões de dívida. É preciso recuar até ao início da década anterior, em pleno cenário da "troika", para encontrar um semestre com tanta atividade no mercado retalhista de obrigações corporate. O que determina esta dinâmica? O que esperar para a segunda metade de 2024? Que papel desempenha a regulação neste contexto e que fatores motivam as decisões de investimento? São as perguntas às quais Hugo Moredo Santos dá resposta neste primeiro episódio do podcast “A Quem de Direito”.

Employment Law: Portugal | Lexology In Depth Tiago Piló and Helena Manoel Viana sign the chapter on Portugal in the publication "In Depth: Employment Law", by Lexology. This publication analyses the structure and developments of labour law in different jurisdictions around the world. In the chapter on Portugal, VdA's lawyers highlight the high degree of labor protection present in the Portuguese legislation, which prohibits the dismissal of workers without cause. However, even though the employment relationship is generally long-term, workers face a segmentation of the labour market, based on fixed-term contracts, temporary agency work, independent contractors, and outsourcing services. According to Tiago Piló and Helena Manoel Viana, most of the relevant regulations are consolidated in the Labour Code (Law No. 7/2009 of 12 February 2009), and other fundamental laws that regulate issues such as parenthood protection, occupational accidents and sickness and occupational health and safety. This publication's analysis provides a detailed overview of legislative and regulatory changes, as well as the main challenges facing the Portuguese labour market.
