Mission & Interests

Goals: Ius Omnibus is a not-for-profit consumer protection association incorporated under the laws of Portugal in 2020. It was born with the objective of protecting and defending the interests of European consumers in a transparent and swift way, aiming to create a new paradigm of legality and access to justice for all, and to end the civil impunity that companies have benefited from across the European Union when they violate consumer rights. We will fight for a new world in which companies know they will have to compensate consumers when they violate their rights, deterring them from violating the law in the first place and ensuring that everyone – not just companies with deep pockets – is compensated when laws are violated. We intend to revolutionize and fight for the effectiveness of justice for European consumers. Ius is a registered consumer association in Portugal, with a seat on the Portuguese National Consumer Council, and with over 7.000 members.
