"Based in Lisbon, Portugal, LF/A - Leal Figueiredo & Associados is a firm composed of three lawyers. Guilherme Prudêncio de Figueiredo, Tânia Gonçalves Leal and Inês Carvalho Almeida have international careers, practicing as a family office. Their mission: to help their clients invest in the Portuguese real estate market.

"We are a boutique law firm and our aim is to continue to be one," says Guilherme Prudêncio de Figueiredo. Whoever resorts to the firm's know-how to invest in the real estate market in Portugal has only one contact person. That's what makes it possible to build and develop "a relationship of proximity and trust", that's how they see their profession. Another advantage of the office is its flexibility. Everyone is able to intervene, in the absence of one of them, in a given ongoing process.

A global approach to the real estate market

Regardless of whether the projects are of a personal, family or professional nature, LF/A - Leal Figueiredo & Associados regards each of its clients as a whole. Legal, tax, wealth and personal issues are all taken into account when investing in real estate in Portugal. "Our role does not end with the acquisition of a property. We look at the relationship with our clients in the long term, being part of their projects and always accompanying them with the utmost discretion". The law firm's role thus goes beyond simply responding to a specific request. "Our 360° vision allows us to help our clients anticipate the future by asking the right questions. It goes without saying that we address local issues, but also those related to the country of tax residence, the possible income to be derived from the acquired property, and even their succession planning. All this while ensuring the desired peace of mind, confidentiality and discretion."

A law firm with an international reach

The firm has an international reach. This is due to its extensive network of trusted partners, but also to the languages in which it works. At LF/A - Leal Figueiredo & Associados, all cases can be handled in two languages: Portuguese and French or Portuguese and English. This fact allows us to offer a personalized and close support, whether the clients are French-speaking or English-speaking."
