Our Philosophy

WE ARE NOT A MASS FIRM.

We understand that the end of a family cycle is a moment of extreme vulnerability, especially when it involves significant assets and child custody.

Our action is surgical: we focus on extrajudicial resolution and absolute secrecy. We litigate only when strictly necessary, always with a "legal chess" strategy designed to protect your interests in the long term.

PERGUNTAS FREQUENTES

Quanto tempo demora um divórcio consensual?
Em cartório, o processo pode ser finalizado em menos de uma semana após a entrega da documentação, desde que não haja filhos menores. Se houver filhos menores, o processo é judicial, mas sendo consensual, costuma ser homologado em poucos meses.
Como funciona a partilha de empresas?
Realizamos uma auditoria (valuation) para determinar o valor real das quotas sociais. O cônjuge não sócio tem direito à metade do valor das quotas adquiridas na constância do casamento (no regime parcial), mas não necessariamente entra na sociedade.
O que é alienação parental?
É a interferência na formação psicológica da criança promovida por um dos genitores para que repudie o outro. Atuamos firmemente para identificar e combater essa prática, garantindo o direito de convivência.
Do you serve clients outside the city?
Yes. With electronic judicial proceedings and video conferences, we serve clients nationwide and citizens residing abroad (Portugal, USA, etc.) with the same efficiency.
