Legal Guidance for Portugal

Investing in Portugal comes with more legal questions than most people expect.

How do you structure a corporate investment under Portuguese law. What does it take to set up a company or launch a startup here. How does banking work for foreign founders and investors, and how will your tax position change. The information exists, but most of it is in Portuguese, and reliable legal guidance in English is hard to find.

LV Law was built for exactly this. From our base in London, we provide legal support to English speaking clients across Portuguese law, with a focus on corporate investments, company formation and startups, banking matters, and tax for investors and founders.

Operating between London and Madeira gives the firm a clear view of both sides. We work where international capital starts, and we know how the legal processes actually run on the ground in Portugal.

Starting this week, we will be publishing regular content on this page. Portuguese law explained clearly, in plain English. The legal mistakes investors make, the real timelines, and the details that matter before you sign anything.

If an investment, a company or a startup in Portugal is part of your plans, follow the page. The right legal information early on saves both money and time.
