About us
Oliveira Lawyers
Oliveira Lawyers is a law firm founded by Brazilian lawyers specializing in representing foreign individuals and companies with interests in Brazil and Portugal. We work hard to be known as the leading law firm dedicated exclusively to serving foreign clients in Brazil and Portugal.
Our professionals are truly fluent in English and Portuguese, and we operate with the same service standards you would experience in countries such as the US and the UK.
Approach
Our Selective Approach
As an international law firm specializing in key services for foreign citizens, we strive to work with clients who can truly benefit from our services. We always evaluate first if we are a good match for your needs. If we accept work on your behalf, you will have our full attention and dedication to achieving your goals in Brazil and Portugal.
Check our practices to know if we provide the service you are looking for. We seek to provide cost estimates whenever possible. Book a consultation to have clear answers to questions about your case, learn how things really work in Brazil or Portugal, and get our practical and actionable advisory on the best strategies to achieve your goals.
The Ideal Match
We are a good match for selective clients and foreign counsel who value their time and are looking for a one-stop solution for their needs. The fees we charge for our services translate into clear benefits to our clients:
1. Risk Reduction
Brazil and Portugal are not for beginners. There are plenty of bad deals and scams around. Getting a lawyer looking out for you at key points of your transaction will substantially reduce the chances of severe losses.
2. Save Money
Doing things right from the start doesn’t just mean better results - it also saves you money. Many of our clients reach out after running into costly hurdles they could have avoided by engaging our services from day one.
3. Peace of mind
Time costs money and mistakes will cost you even more. Our clients tell that by hiring our services they remove the stress and uncertainty of doing transactions in a different country.
Not Good Matches
Those who do not care about English-speaking professionals or experience in multiple countries may be better off hiring standard attorneys in Brazil and Portugal, charging lower fees. Our international presence, decades-long experience and the quality of our results require us to practice fees comparable to those charged in the US and other developed countries.
No free consultations
In free consultations, attorneys are incentivized to withhold divulging simple solutions until the client has hired their services, or worse, to recommend unnecessarily costly legal remedies. Our consultations are paid, which lets us give you effective and practical advice rather than a sales pitch. Additionally, free consultations are prohibited by the Brazilian and Portuguese Bar Associations and are not offered by reputable firms or attorneys.
Price Expectations
We understand each client has different priorities, but if you’re looking for the lowest price, we’re likely not the best fit. Our approach, centered on personalized care, requires a level of expertise and investment reflecting our commitment to quality over budget.
Our Experience
Our attorneys have represented foreign parties in Brazil and Portugal in hundreds of cross-border transactions and legal cases. Our experience with the representation of foreign citizens started in 2004 when Leonidas Oliveira, the late father of our managing partner Luciano Oliveira, joined forces with one of the leading law firms in California to work on a massive cross-border legal case.
Over the last two decades, we have assisted thousands of clients from all continents with business and personal needs in realms such as real estate, immigration, investments, contracts, probates, lawsuits, and conflict resolution in Brazil and Portugal.
The Value We Add
We offer reliable solutions for your problems. Once we take you on board, we will guide you through the many challenges Brazil and Portugal represent to foreign clients. We will steer you away from bad deals, scams, and nonsense. We will guide you to achieve your goals the safest and fastest way possible. We will bring in other professionals such as bankers, accountants, realtors, translators, and others when needed.
Don’t want to waste time calling a bunch of people?
Don’t want to learn how things work in Brazil or Portugal the hard way? Don’t want to risk your money with legal providers who don’t understand your needs and background? We may be the right choice for you.
