Your family’s lawyers
Personal legal and tax advice for the long term.
Our approach
We have deliberately chosen to keep our practice focused and to work with a limited number of families. This allows us to understand each situation in depth, ensure direct partner involvement, and remain accessible and closely engaged over time.
Rather than address matters in isolation, we seek to understand each decision within the wider context of the family.
We frequently advise families whose members, assets and interests span several countries. We consider each decision from legal, tax and wealth-planning perspectives, taking into account the jurisdictions involved and coordinating with other trusted advisers where necessary.
When a family’s needs extend beyond legal and tax matters, we work alongside Legado Familiar - Private & Family Office to provide broader, coordinated support.
What we do
We advise families on legal and tax decisions affecting their personal lives, their wealth and their future.
Family and succession
Succession planning, wills, lifetime gifts, inheritance matters and the administration and division of estates, together with advice on separation, divorce and changes in family circumstances. We seek to anticipate decisions, prevent conflict and protect those involved at every stage.
Protecting and passing on wealth
The organisation, protection and transfer of family wealth, considering legal, tax and succession issues together. We advise on wealth structuring and reorganisation, holding and investment structures, and changes of tax residence, always with a long-term perspective.
Investing and settling in Portugal
Legal and tax advice for families looking to buy property, invest or move to Portugal, including residence permits and citizenship applications. Each decision is considered in the wider context of the family’s circumstances, wealth and succession plans.
Cross-border coordination
When a matter involves more than one country, we coordinate with lawyers, tax advisers, banks and other trusted professionals in Portugal and abroad. We seek to ensure a coordinated approach across jurisdictions while retaining a clear view of the overall situation.
A lasting relationship
Each family works directly with the partners, allowing us to build a close relationship and deepen our understanding of their circumstances over time.
