Question 1

How can I tell if my case involves more than one country?

Accepted Answer

A case has an international element where it involves, for example, different nationalities, residence in more than one country, cross-border relocation, or assets located abroad. In such situations, more than one legal system may be engaged. It then becomes necessary to determine which country has jurisdiction, which law applies to the case, and how to ensure that any decision is recognised and enforced in the relevant countries.

Question 2

Why do I need a specialist lawyer?

Accepted Answer

In cross-border cases, it is not simply a matter of choosing where to start or how to proceed. There are specific legal frameworks governing these situations, and taking the wrong approach from the outset may create risks and unintended consequences later on. A specialist lawyer will assess the circumstances and define the appropriate strategy, ensuring the case is handled with care and legal certainty. We work with a highly qualified team, with extensive experience, and are equipped to handle even the most complex matters.

Question 3

In which countries do you operate?

Accepted Answer

Our team can assist in cases involving connections with Brazil and/or Portugal. Where a matter involves additional jurisdictions, we work with a trusted network of partners and coordinate with local counsel to ensure the necessary legal alignment and cross-border strategy.

Question 4

Can you assist clients remotely, including those based abroad?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our practice is structured to handle cross-border matters, and all aspects of the case can be managed remotely, regardless of where the client is based.

Question 5

How does the initial contact with the firm work?

Accepted Answer

Cases involving international elements are, as a rule, more complex and require a detailed assessment. For this reason, the initial stage is conducted through an individual legal consultation, during which the key aspects of the case are analysed and the available legal options are identified in a tailored and strategic manner.
