Established in 1980, Araújo & Associados was founded in Porto with a clear mission: to provide legal services of excellence, with rigour, proximity and a genuine commitment to every client. Over more than 45 years, we have built a solid reputation based on mutual trust, professional ethics and the ability to respond to the needs of those who seek our advice.
Our team brings together lawyers from different generations, combining decades of accumulated experience with the energy and vision of a new generation of lawyers. This complementarity allows us to offer innovative legal solutions without losing sight of the values that have defined us since our foundation.
With a consolidated practice across multiple sectors of activity, Araújo & Associados has developed particular experience in representing clients in complex litigation, advising foreign investors, structuring and supporting real estate transactions, and handling immigration and citizenship matters. Araújo & Associados is a full-service law firm covering all areas of law required for corporate transactions, investments, real estate deals and complex business projects in Portugal, ensuring integrated legal support from the structuring and implementation of each transaction through to the prevention and resolution of disputes.
Our approach is always personalised. Every client’s situation is unique, and it is with this conviction that we work — listening, analysing and proposing the solutions best suited to each specific case.
With offices in Porto and Lisbon, we are present in the country’s two main economic and legal centres, ready to welcome and assist clients in both cities.
Our work, however, is not limited to these two cities. We provide legal services to clients throughout mainland Portugal and in the autonomous regions of the Azores and Madeira. Over the years, we have advised clients from more than 31 countries, assisting companies, investors and private individuals in international transactions of every nature. We provide services in Portuguese, English, French, German and Spanish, ensuring clear communication with clients from anywhere in the world.
We are members of the CCILF – French-Portuguese Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the AHK – German-Portuguese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, maintaining our commitment to close ties with these two major European economies.
We regularly assist clients across the entire Portuguese territory, using both in-person and remote means that allow us to handle cases and transactions regardless of where our clients are located.
The firm regularly advises Portuguese and international clients, including investors, multinational companies and private individuals developing projects or holding interests in Portugal.
At Araújo & Associados, we believe that the client relationship goes far beyond a single case or transaction. We seek long-term relationships built on transparency, availability and trust. Our partners are personally involved in every matter, ensuring close monitoring and a prompt response at every stage of the process.
It is this commitment, combined with decades of experience and a highly qualified team, that sets us apart and continues to motivate each of our lawyers every day.
