Goals

Innovation has always been part of Dower's DNA.

We have adopted a culture of transformation. We have equipped our work processes with the most advanced technologies available in the legal field, so that we can be at the forefront of offering legal services that meet current market/client demands. Whether it's document or procedural management, or client relations, we can make our distance be or be defined with a simple and immediate click.

We have the tools to show that physical distance is a circumstance that technology makes secondary. Dower's experience in technology is vast and it has recognized know-how in its sector. We always strive to overcome obstacles by focusing on innovation.

We make and encourage active policy commitments to build an environment of diversity, inclusion and well-being for all.

Our approach to inclusion differs in that we focus on recognizing and breaking down prejudice and on responsibility. We know that we don't have all the answers and that there is always more to do for inclusion, so we aim to collaborate with others who can help us make more of an impact. We focus on individual responsibility, both at the level of our law firm and of each person at Dower.

We want to be vectors of change, and our aim is to create an innovative culture of inclusion and equality in which our professionals can seed and flourish, contribute their ideas and opinions and achieve a sense of well-being. Thus, we will implement consistent and intentional policies for multiplying impact, expanding opportunity and access, and developing habits that deepen organizational progress and embed a culture of change and inclusion - we were "built for change. Together."

Our social conscience requires us to mitigate the existing gaps in access to justice. With the aim of facilitating access to justice for the poorest segments of society, we have the ambition of spending 1020 hours a year on pro bono work.

We want to go beyond the boundaries of a Law Firm and take a social stance. Our relationship with the communities with which we interact most is guided by criteria that defend their interests and is characterized by actions that promote their sustainable development.

 We want to use our networking and market position to symbolize or reinforce socially relevant themes, such as social responsibility, environmental responsibility, inclusion, gender equality, merit, quality education, among others. Concern for the community and its demands is part of our DNA.

Any barrier to internationalization is a barrier to innovation.

The frontiers of the corporate world are tending to disappear, which is why we are expanding our capacity to provide advice to international or national companies seeking or wishing to establish internationalization. Dower has been consolidating its presence outside Portugal by expanding its partnership networks with other jurisdictions. We are an active partner in the coordination and management of international projects, providing advice in the various areas of law.

Our aim is to gain in-depth knowledge of the geographic markets in which our clients operate, thus understanding the challenges faced by the different sectors of activity today.

We provide services with total independence, integrity and mutual respect for clients and collaborators, in compliance with the profession's ethical values such as integrity and professional secrecy. We are an organization that has a well-defined path.

Attentive to multidisciplinary trends, Dower has built links with other sectors of activity that allow us to present joint value proposals.
