The appointment of a legal person for the role of director of a company limited by shares, together with the co-related appointment of a natural person for the performance of such role on its own name, as provided for in paragraphs 3 and 4 of article 390 of the Portuguese Companies Code, has raised several interpretation issues, which, despite its relevance in the day to day life of Portuguese companies, is far from reaching a consensus among scholars who have published opinions on this subject. In addition, regarding companies limited by quotas, the wording of paragraph 1 of article 252 of the Portuguese Companies Code, together with the absence of a legal express permission for the appointment of a legal person for the role of manager has also raised a debate over its admissibility. The purpose of this article is to contribute to the analysis of these issues, by summarizing and further developing some of the arguments applied by scholars, while providing our own opinions on tangible situations.
