The Legal Affairs Committee of APED is promoting an event on November 19th at the Museu do Oriente in Lisbon, which will include the presentation of a publication dedicated to the legal challenges of retail and distribution, and the first edition of the "Encontros Fora da CAJ" (Meetings Outside the Legal Affairs Committee).

The Collection of Legal Studies for the Retail and Distribution Sector , promoted by the Legal Affairs Committee (CAJ) of the Portuguese Association of Distribution Companies (APED) and coordinated by José Miguel Figueiredo, brings together contributions from various specialists on legal matters of particular relevance to the activity of companies in the sector.

In a context marked by increasing legislative and regulatory complexity, this publication addresses regulatory, economic, labor, and technological challenges, seeking to serve as a tool for consultation and support for professionals involved in these matters. The work aims, therefore, to contribute to a better understanding of the legal framework of the activity and the demands placed on retail and distribution companies.

The presentation of the Collection, scheduled for 11:00 AM, will be given by José Miguel Júdice, former President of the Portuguese Bar Association, founding partner of PLMJ, and a leading figure in law and arbitration in Portugal. With a career spanning several decades in law, he is also known for his public appearances as a political and current affairs commentator. He is currently President of the Faculty Council of NOVA School of Law.

The initiative continues at 13:00 PM with the first edition of the "Encontros Fora da CAJ – À Mesa com José Miguel Júdice" (Meetings Outside the CAJ – At the Table with José Miguel Júdice), a new lunch-conversation format that aims to create a space for dialogue and exchange of perspectives in a more informal and intimate setting.

With these two initiatives, APED's CAJ seeks to combine the production and dissemination of legal knowledge with the promotion of debate and reflection on topics relevant to the sector.

Registration is open until November 12th via this link.
