The wave of solidarity with Ukraine has spread to various sectors, with law professionals now making themselves available to provide free legal assistance to Ukrainian citizens who are in Portugal, as well as to those who come to the country as refugees.

In a statement, the chairman of the Bar Association, Luís Menezes Leitão, thanked the availability of all the lawyers who are volunteering.

“In order to articulate and convey this availability to the Embassy of Ukraine and the National Association of Lawyers of Ukraine, the OA requests that professionals who are offering pro bono legal assistance contact the OA, through the address cons.geral@ cg.oa.pt”, they explained.

According to a report by ECO, the list of lawyers who apply will be posted on the website of the Bar Association and sent to the Embassy of Ukraine and the National Association of Lawyers of Ukraine.
