The new Civil Transactions Law regulates withdrawal from a civil company of indefinite duration, including notice and the requirement that withdrawal is not fraudulent or timed to harm the company or partners.
Review the company agreement, duration, notification, share valuation, registration and obligations to creditors and clients. The remaining partners may agree to lawful continuation, including a replacement partner or acquisition of the departing share where permitted.
Do not automatically apply these provisions to a limited liability company or another commercial form. The activity, legal form and governing legislation determine the applicable regime.
Federal Decree-Law No. 25 of 2025 entered into force on 1 June 2026. Check the dates, applicable special legislation and temporal rules for the particular case.
