Understanding the Portuguese Legal System

The Portuguese legal system can be complex and overwhelming, especially for those who are not familiar with the language or culture.

It is important to understand the basics of the system in order to navigate it successfully.

The legal system is based on civil law, which means that laws are codified and judges are bound by the law.

The court system is divided into several levels, including the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court of Justice, and the Administrative and Fiscal Courts.

Our law services In Portugal can provide you with the expertise and guidance you need to navigate this system with confidence.

Clara and her associates have made what felt impossible possible and I finally got my Portuguese citizenship. They were able to provide sound advice in regards to details that could have complicated by case. They were responsive to my questions and supportive up until the very end. I am very pleased with their services.

Iris Weissman

Clara was extremely helpful during my journey to obtain Portuguese citizenship. The process can be confusing, and there were were times when documents had to be corrected or re-submitted. Clara always helped me understand the process and complete what was necessary. It was a relief to have someone in Portugal who could handle things. I appreciate the help so much, and I definitely recommend this legal office.
