The Swedish-Portuguese Chamber of Commerce (CLS) is pleased to welcome NCAdvisory, a boutique advisory firm specialised in Corporate Governance, ESG, and strategic support to boards and corporate bodies. With a strong legal foundation and a pragmatic approach to governance, NCAdvisory brings a distinctive perspective to our business community.
Founded by Sofia Metelo de Nápoles, NCAdvisory works at the intersection of law, governance, and strategy — helping companies structure decision-making, mitigate risk, and build resilient organisations aligned with international best practices. The firm serves a diverse range of clients, from growing SMEs and startups to family offices and companies undergoing transformation, offering tailored support in areas such as corporate governance architecture, ESG and regulatory advisory, board and shareholder advisory, and strategic corporate advisory.
In a business environment where regulation intensifies and directors' responsibilities expand — from CSRD and CSDDD to evolving ESG reporting frameworks — NCAdvisory positions itself as a strategic partner that delivers executable solutions, not just legal opinions. The firm's approach combines rigorous legal and regulatory expertise with a deep understanding of how organisations operate from the inside.
