Afonso Lima

Associate Partner

My professional story and Clearwater's journey in Portugal are, quite simply, inseparable: I joined the firm in 2008 as a trainee — and for nearly two decades, we have grown each other.

From intern at a nascent local Corporate Finance practice to Associate Partner at a specialised European M&A Advisory boutique, I've participated in and led transactions across virtually every sector. The spaces that drive me are clear: where technology disrupts established models, where creativity becomes a business force, and where healthcare innovation redefines what's possible.

My purpose is straightforward: to be the trusted partner in the room when the decisions that shape companies' futures are made.
