From Lesson 388:It is a matter of (tratar-se de)·Portuguese (Portugal)

Questions & Answers about Portanto, não há litígio judicial nenhum.

Since this lesson is about the impersonal verb tratar-se de, could we use it here instead of há?
Yes! You could say Portanto, não se trata de nenhum litígio judicial (Therefore, it is not a matter of any judicial dispute). While não há simply states the fact that a dispute doesn't exist, não se trata de is used to clarify the true nature of a situation, usually to correct a misunderstanding about what is actually going on.
Why does nenhum come at the very end of the sentence instead of before the noun?
In Portuguese, placing nenhum after the noun in a negative sentence adds strong emphasis, much like adding "at all" or "whatsoever" in English. If you placed it before the noun (não há nenhum litígio judicial), it would just be a standard, neutral "there is no judicial dispute."
Could I use por isso instead of portanto to mean "therefore" in this context?
They are often interchangeable, but portanto (therefore / thus) carries a slightly more formal and conclusive tone than por isso (so / for that reason). Because this sentence uses formal legal vocabulary like litígio judicial (legal dispute), portanto matches the professional register perfectly.
