    Frequently Asked Questions about Prime Legal

    Is Prime Legal a regulated Portuguese law firm?

    Yes. The current Ordem dos Advogados society register lists PRIME LEGAL - SOCIEDADE DE ADVOGADOS, SP, RL under registration 44/22, constituted on 5 December 2022 in Lisbon.

    Who founded Prime Legal?

    Sara Sousa Rebolo and Vanessa Rodrigues Lima are Prime Legal’s founding partners. The official site presents both as partners and lawyers with international-client, immigration and real-estate experience.

    Does Prime Legal advise on the Portugal Golden Visa?

    Yes. Prime Legal publishes immigration and foreign-investment guidance and advises on the Golden Visa. Clients should confirm that a proposed investment route remains eligible and obtain a case-specific engagement scope.

    Can a property purchase still qualify for a new Portuguese Golden Visa?

    No. Real-estate acquisition and passive capital transfer are not qualifying routes for new ARI applications. Prime Legal separately handles property law, but that does not make a purchase an eligible Golden Visa investment.

    What other immigration work does Prime Legal cover?

    Its current materials cover residence, work and family mobility matters including D7, D8, entrepreneur, highly qualified, work, family-reunification and nationality pathways.

    How large is the Prime Legal team?

    The official team page named 17 people when checked on 24 August 2026, including seven people presented as lawyers, one solicitor, paralegals and operational staff.

    What are Prime Legal’s current independent review figures?

    The exact Google Maps listing showed 4.1 out of 5 from nine reviews on 24 August 2026. No exact-domain Trustpilot profile was found. External review figures can change after the stated date.

    Does Prime Legal publish fixed fees or guarantee outcomes?

    No current fixed-fee table, response-time commitment or outcome guarantee was found on the checked official pages. Fees, scope and expected stages should be confirmed in writing; Portuguese authorities decide immigration and nationality applications.
