Graduate in Law from Universidade Lusófona and postgraduate in Doing Business in Emerging Markets from Universidade Católica Portuguesa. Registered with the Portuguese Bar Association, he practises from Lourinhã, on Portugal's west coast.

LinkedInInternational practice areas
Each matter is assessed individually — there is no automatic acceptance and no generic answer that applies to every situation.
- Property in Portugal for non-residents — purchase, due diligence, power of attorney, fiscal representative and NIF
- Buying property as a US citizen — cross-border formalities for American buyers
- Inheritance with assets in Portugal — heirs abroad, partition, stamp duty and representation
- Non-resident hub — overview of legal support for buyers and heirs who do not live in Portugal
How consultations work
Initial contact is to identify the subject and objective; detailed legal assessment takes place in a booked consultation, with adequate time and relevant documentation. Clear communication, concrete analysis of the facts and professional confidentiality are the basis of the work.
Appointments are in person in Lourinhã or by videoconference when the matter allows, including for clients who live outside Portugal.
