Teresa, Lawyer in Faro ...
Teresa read law at the University of Coimbra. She is specialised in civil law, contracts, property and inheritance case, with more than 10 years representing international clients. She holds a postgraduate degree in Banking, Stock Exchange and Insurance Law and also holds the specialization course leading to the degree of Master of Corporate Law.

I hired Teresa as a lawyer via Advocate Abroad for a land purchase in Portugal. Teresa assisted with all aspects of the purchase, she was polite, professional, responsive and even with some delays from the seller managed to get the deed transfer done in good time. Would happily use her services again! Thanks Teresa! :D

Why choose Advocate Abroad?

Director
When we set-up Advocate Abroad 14 years ago, getting legal services abroad was something of a lottery.
Clients faced a variety of problems from poor levels of English to questionable moral behaviour by some practitioners.
So we set-up Advocate Abroad to ensure standards by checking lawyers’ background, language levels, and competencies...
...and now, having handled over 40,000 enquiries, via hundreds of partners in 20 countries, we think we must be doing something right!
