INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY | 12 AUGUST

Today, we recognise the energy, potential and contribution of young people in shaping our communities and our future.

The law has an important role to play in that journey. It protects the rights of young people, promotes access to education and opportunity, safeguards equality and dignity, and provides the framework within which the next generation can build, innovate and lead.

As a legal profession, we also have a responsibility to encourage young people entering the workplace and the law — creating opportunities for mentorship, development and meaningful participation.

At De Oliveira Serrão Attorneys, we believe that investing in young people is an investment in a stronger, fairer and more capable society.

Happy International Youth Day!

Empowering youth. Protecting rights. Building the future.

🇵🇹 ATENÇÃO: Novas regras para viajar na União Europeia a partir de 3 de Agosto de 2026

Se viaja dentro da União Europeia, tome nota desta alteração.

A partir de 3 de Agosto de 2026, alguns documentos deixarão de ser aceites como documentos de viagem para o exercício do direito à livre circulação, incluindo determinados Bilhetes de Identidade, cartões de residência e certificados de registo.

O que isto significa?
➡️ Poderá ser necessário apresentar um passaporte ou outro documento de viagem válido para viajar dentro da UE, mesmo que anteriormente utilizasse apenas o seu Bilhete de Identidade ou outro documento abrangido.

Antes de viajar, confirme que possui a documentação correta para evitar contratempos.

If you travel within the European Union, please take note of this important change.

From 3 August 2026, certain documents will no longer be accepted as travel documents for exercising the right of free movement, including some National Identity Cards, residence cards and registration certificates.

What does this mean?
➡️ You may need to present a valid passport or another accepted travel document when travelling within the EU, even if you previously travelled using only your identity card or another affected document.

Before travelling, make sure you have the correct documentation to avoid any inconvenience.

Today, on Nelson Mandela Day, we celebrate the life and legacy of a man who showed the world that courage, compassion and justice have the power to transform society.

As legal professionals, we are reminded that the pursuit of justice extends beyond the courtroom. It is reflected in how we serve our clients, support our communities, and uphold the values of dignity, equality and respect for all.

"It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it." – Nelson Mandela
