International and European law: accuracy over your case.

How is liability settled when I am involved with my British car in an accident in Portugal?

Family affairs, real estate, inheritance, or taxes: living and working abroad means you are confronted with international or European law.

International law defines which law system in which country is applicable, and which courts are authorized to handle the case. International law also defines how different countries will recognise court rulings.

We strive to create clarity for you and to answer your legal questions:

  • We validate your question about the relevant legal systems in the countries involved.
  • We provide and translate the necessary documents.
  • We represent or assist you at authorities and where necessary provide an oral translation.

In short, we offer a customized solution, in your language, to your specific international legal problem.

 Your family affairs in Safe Hands

Living and working abroad entails special questions. We understand your position and accompany you in the steps to be taken.

We deal personally and in English with your family affairs. For example, divorce, birth, and descent.

 I live in Portugal and my children live in the UK. What happens to the inheritance when I die?

When someone dies, family members need to take care of the inheritance procedure. Taxes need to be paid on time.

We closely investigate your international situation and make sure your inheritance successfully reaches the right people. We are glad to be able to ease your concerns.

Real Estate: Buying or Selling a house in Portugal

What do I need to buy a house in Portugal?

We accompany you in the process of buying or selling real estate.

In Portugal, the notary is only responsible for the payment of taxes. All other affairs surrounding the real estate purchase, such as property rights, easements, and registration data, must be inspected by lawyers.

We arrange all necessary investigations and registrations for you.

Your taxes well organized.
