Advisory Background
As Clara Silva da Costa, I have spent more than 14 years advising international clients, private families, business owners, and high-net-worth individuals on Portuguese immigration, residency, and cross-border legal matters. My corporate practice is focused on translating complex commercial statutes into actionable strategies that empower business growth.
I am a member of the Portuguese Bar Association (Ordem dos Advogados), Bar Number 45229L, a member of the European Association of Lawyers, and hold a Degree in Law, with postgraduate qualifications in Registries and Notarial Practice and Labour Law.
My professional background includes leading a multidisciplinary legal team focused on private client, immigration, real estate, and international legal services. Prior to dedicating myself fully to my private practice, my clinical legal experience included serving as a Legal Adviser at the United Nations Law and Justice Research Institute, practicing in complex litigation, and establishing my independent practice in 2009.
For individuals and families considering Portugal as their next home, our role is simple: to provide trusted legal guidance through every stage of your business journey.
For many clients, legal support begins with establishing a business presence in Portugal. Whether you are launching a startup, opening a subsidiary, or entering the Portuguese market for the first time, we help establish the correct legal framework.
Portugal has introduced more streamlined digital incorporation options, but legal review remains essential to ensure the right structure and documentation from the outset.
Well-drafted contracts are fundamental to protecting your business interests. Our approach is strategic—not merely technical. We ensure that contracts align with your business objectives while minimizing future disputes.
Business clients need more than legal documents—they need reliable professionals who understand how businesses operate. Alongside my own practice, I work with a highly capable in-house team.
Ana brings extensive expertise in tax, commercial law, real estate, and cross-border legal matters, making her instrumental in supporting complex international business clients.
Rita contributes valuable support in due diligence, legal inspections, and operational legal processes, helping ensure precision across transactions and compliance matters.
Mila oversees legal systems, automation, and data management, helping our firm deliver efficient, organized, and responsive service.
Clients trust our firm because we combine legal authority with strategic, business-focused advice.
Extensive experience advising Portuguese and international clients across multiple legal disciplines.
Fully qualified Portuguese lawyer, registered with the Portuguese Bar Association (Ordem dos Advogados), Bar Number 45229L.
Trusted by multinational companies, embassies, family offices, and international private clients.
Recipient of several distinctions in international legal directories and active member of respected legal associations.
We focus on solutions that protect your legal position while supporting your business goals.
Professionalism, responsiveness, and trust are central to our client relationships.
Whether you are starting a business in Portugal, expanding into the Portuguese market, negotiating commercial agreements, managing compliance obligations, or resolving a corporate dispute, you deserve legal counsel that is experienced, strategic, and fully committed to protecting your interests.
As Clara Silva da Costa, I provide trusted business legal guidance built on experience, authority, and long-term client trust. With the support of an exceptional in-house legal team, I help businesses and entrepreneurs navigate Portuguese law with clarity, confidence, and practical legal certainty.
