Private International Law
A divorce granted in Brazil has no automatic effect in Portugal. An estate with assets in two countries requires knowing which law applies. A contract with a foreign company must define the competent court.
This is where registration with three Bar Associations and a network of international partners make a difference: one point of contact to coordinate the case in each country.
Three registrations

Frequently asked questions
Questions that deserve
straight answers
I divorced in Brazil. Is the divorce valid in Portugal?
To take effect in Portugal, the Brazilian judgment must be reviewed and confirmed by the Portuguese court. We handle the whole process.
Which law applies to an estate with assets in several countries?
It depends, among other factors, on the deceased’s habitual residence and any choice made in a will. We review the case and coordinate with partners in the other countries.
Do you work with lawyers in other countries?
Yes. We have partners in Brazil, Portugal, Spain and Israel, and coordinate the work so that you have a single point of contact.
