Lawyers and solicitors against illegal prosecution

The Portuguese Bar Association is addressing illegal legal representation through a new awareness campaign. This initiative, titled "Tem de estar em Ordem," aims to educate the public on the importance of verifying the professional registration of legal service providers. Recent data shows a significant increase in cases of illegal representation, with hundreds of ongoing processes and numerous fines issued. The campaign highlights the risks associated with unqualified individuals offering legal services, emphasizing the need for professional verification. It will be promoted across various digital and public channels, aiming to ensure informed decisions when seeking legal assistance.
