    About Prime Legal

    Editorial summary

    Prime Legal is a Portuguese sociedade de advogados registered with the Ordem dos Advogados under 44/22. Its two founding partners lead a current 17-person public team covering immigration, foreign investment, real estate, corporate, labour, tax and private-client matters from one Lisbon office.

    Prime Legal is a regulated Portuguese law firm constituted on 5 December 2022 and registered with the Ordem dos Advogados under society number 44/22. Founding partners Sara Sousa Rebolo and Vanessa Rodrigues Lima lead a current 17-person public team, including seven people presented as lawyers. The firm advises international individuals, families and companies on Golden Visa and other residence routes, nationality, foreign investment, real estate, corporate, labour, tax and succession matters. The exact Lisbon Google listing showed 4.1 from nine reviews on 24 August 2026, while no exact-domain Trustpilot profile was found. Prime Legal’s property-law work is separate from the Golden Visa: real-estate acquisition is not a qualifying investment route for new ARI applications. Applicants should confirm the responsible lawyer, engagement scope, current legal position and case-specific fees before instructing the firm.

    Frequently Asked Questions about Prime Legal

    Is Prime Legal a regulated Portuguese law firm?

    Who founded Prime Legal?
