Revista de Direito das Sociedades
The Revista de Direito das Sociedades is a periodical of the Centro de Investigação de Direito Privado, of the Lisbon Centre for Research in Private Law of the University of Lisbon School of Law.
Founded in 2009 by Prof. Dr. António Menezes Cordeiro, it promotes the creation and spreading of knowledge in different areas of Company law (and other related areas), fostering high quality scientific research.
It is managed by its Director (Prof. Dr. António Menezes Cordeiro) and by the Revision Commission, chaired by the Director and including four other members (Profs. Ana Perestrelo de Oliveira, Diogo Costa Gonçalves, Francisco Mendes Correia e Dr. António Garcia Rolo). It is assisted by an executive collaborator Daniela Rodrigues de Sousa.
Ten years after its foundation, the Revista de Direito das Sociedades is a reference in the Portuguese market. However, it was deemed convenient to reform some structural issues. Delivering on the goals previously set, as from 2019, it (i) is published online, with open access, at www.revistadedireitodassociedades.pt; and (ii) the articles to be published are selected through a double blind peer review process.
