What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic legal environment that values collaboration and professional growth.

I am a dedicated legal professional with a Bachelor's degree from Coimbra's University, specializing in law. My career began with internships at reputable law firms, where I honed my skills in legal research, drafting documents, and client consultations. I have a strong foundation in assisting with court proceedings and negotiations, ensuring favorable outcomes for my clients.

In my role as a lawyer in individual practice, I have successfully managed a diverse range of cases, from lease agreements to employment contracts. My ability to interpret legislation and provide robust technical opinions has been instrumental in representing clients effectively in court. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my commitment to delivering high-quality legal services.
