Morais Leitão and Nova School of Business & Economics (Nova SBE) have just agreed on a five-year partnership to promote innovation in law and management.

As a first step of this partnership, Morais Leitão was present in the Innovation ecosystem, which was inaugurated on November 24th.
As the preferred legal partner of the Innovation ecosystem, we intend to contribute to this privileged environment of permanent networking and development of creative solutions in sectors in which Morais Leitão has been a pioneer: financial services (FinTech and InsurTech), sustainable cities and communities (smart cities, mobility, governance), health and well-being (smart health, aging, lifestyle, pharmaceutical), service experience (hospitality, tourism, retail), space, green and blue economy (renewable energy, oceans, space).
Nuno Galvão Teles, managing partner, comments that "knowledge sharing and the immersive relationship with the client are the key to the future of legal advice. Alongside one of the best university institutions in the country, we are making a difference".
For Rui Coutinho, Executive Director of the Nova SBE Innovation Ecosystem, "the Nova SBE Innovation Ecosystem provides companies that are part of it a proximity to the talent, creativity and agents of change that live daily in our campus. Through formal and informal mechanisms - "serendipity innovation" - provided by the Innovation Ecosystem, Morais Leitão will be even closer to the great drivers of disruption and will actively participate in the cocreation of impactful solutions for the sustainable future of its businesses.
