The Vellozo Ferreira French Desk, created in 2016, has been successfully established and is already a reference in the Portuguese community in France, as well as in the French-speaking world with interests in Portugal.
With offices located at 75 Boulevard Haussmann, 75008 Paris, near the Consulate General of Portugal in Paris, the French Desk is staffed by experienced lawyers who provide fast and effective legal support to the Portuguese community living in France and to the growing number of French people with interests in Portugal.
In order to be close to its clients, the team of lawyers has maintained personal contact with the various institutions that represent the interests of the Portuguese in France, allowing a better understanding of the real needs of the Portuguese communities as well as to provide our diaspora with the necessary information to develop their interests.
Narrowing distances and creating safety links is one of the distinguishing features of the French Desk.
Portuguese companies and citizens living in France can obtain close, permanent legal advice and support from Vellozo Ferreira on all matters in Portugal.
The French Desk work includes promoting entrepreneurship, providing legal advice on corporate investment in Portugal, protecting property interests, real estate law, succession rights, legalising various legal situations and providing tax advice.
French investment and the growing number of French people residing in Portugal can also be addressed through Vellozo Ferreira, which provides French companies and citizens with a specific and tailored response to their needs.
The French Desk is coordinated by partner Isabel Vellozo Ferreira and is composed of a team of lawyers with a strong command of the French language and culture, with recognised experience in a wide range of business sectors, and especially dedicated to assisting French-speaking clients.
The French Desk also provides its clients with a network of contacts, through cooperation protocols with various associations, chambers of commerce and business entities, thus facilitating access to close and permanent legal advice.
The Brazilian Desk is coordinated by partner Marcello d’Orey and consists of a team of lawyers with a strong proximity to the Brazilian legal culture, with recognised experience in a wide range of sectors of activity, especially designed to ensure the support of clients and Brazilian companies with interests in Portugal.
The growing number of Brazilians with investments in Portugal and interests in the European Union has an answer through the Brazilian Desk, which provides Brazilian companies and citizens with differentiated support and a specific response adapted to their needs.
Vellozo Ferreira e Associados has established a strategic partnership with Fernando Setembrino Marquéz de Almeida and Carlos Fernando Carvalho Motta Filho, Associated Lawyers, in Rio de Janeiro, so that the Brazilian Desk also provides legal support to Portuguese clients and companies that wish to establish business in Brazil.
