Your bridge to Europe

Legal advice on investments, corporate transactions and business between Brazil and Portugal.

Experience in foreign investment in Portugal

With an office in Porto, we advise Brazilian and other foreign investors in Portugal, as well as Portuguese companies entering Brazil.

We act in investment transactions between Brazil and Portugal: company and branch formation, mergers and acquisitions, shareholders’ agreements and complex negotiations. Each transaction is handled directly by a partner of the firm, admitted to the Brazilian Bar (OAB) and to the Portuguese Bar (Ordem dos Advogados), from structuring to signing.

We assist individuals and companies in establishing themselves in Portugal and carrying out business in the country, from choosing the corporate structure and completing registrations to contracts, real estate and regulatory requirements, always mindful of the differences between the two legal systems.

In the other direction, we assist Portuguese companies in expanding their business into Brazil, advising on the choice of entry structure, company formation, contracts with partners and suppliers, and compliance with Brazilian regulatory requirements.
