Businesses and personal affairs cross borders with increasing frequency. Our practice combines knowledge of international rules and bilateral treaties with a network of qualified partners in the jurisdictions involved.

Areas of work

• International contracts. Drafting, review and negotiation of cross-border sale agreements, service contracts, distribution, joint ventures and licensing;
• Cross-border wealth planning. Structuring of assets and family arrangements across multiple jurisdictions, focused on tax efficiency and legal certainty;

• Mobility and strategic immigration. Corporate visas, residence by investment and regularisation of expatriates.

Matters are handled in Portuguese and English.
