Short answer
Partly. Attorly has jurisdiction-specific review context for Portuguese law, but no national legislation database for Portugal is connected yet, so research grounds answers in EU law from EUR-Lex. Check national statutes against an official source. Contracts are drafted in Portuguese by default, and the interface is available in Portuguese.

What the contract review checks under Portuguese law
When the Word add-in reviews a contract governed by Portuguese law, the model is given these jurisdiction notes, quoted here exactly as the product uses them:
Key references: the Civil Code (Código Civil) and Decreto-Lei 446/85 on standard-form contracts ("cláusulas contratuais gerais"). DL 446/85 Articles 18–19 enumerate absolutely and relatively prohibited clauses; flag any term that matches those lists. Consumer contracts add Lei 24/96 protections — disclosure and information duties are strict, and waivers of consumer rights are ineffective.
The notes steer what the review looks for. They are not a complete statement of the law, and the model still has to read the contract.
Measured quality
Attorly has not published a benchmark for Portuguese law yet. The published benchmarks cover Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany, so there is no measured accuracy figure for Portugal to rely on.
Who it fits, and who it does not
Best for:
- Reviewing and drafting contracts governed by Portuguese law, with context for its legal tradition and default drafting language.
- Cross-border work that also turns on EU law, which research reads from EUR-Lex alongside the national sources.
Not the best fit for:
- Research that depends on the text of national statutes: no national legislation database for Portugal is connected yet.
- Buyers who need a published accuracy figure for Portuguese law before they start: none is published yet.
- Decisions that need a lawyer’s sign-off. Attorly gives legal information, not legal advice; a qualified lawyer should check anything you rely on.
