The Lawyer

Rui F. Correia

“My mission is to be the missing legal bridge between Portugal and Brazil — for those who invest, those who emigrate, those who inherit, those who dream.”

Registered with the Portuguese Bar Association since 1999 (Porto Regional Council), Rui Correia has more than two decades of practice in civil law, family law and international relations.

Since 2008, following admission to the Brazilian Bar Association (Ceará Section), Rui Correia has practised in Fortaleza as a legal consultant specialising in Portuguese and European law, creating a unique platform for citizens and companies with interests on both sides of the Atlantic.

With the creation of the lexatlantica office and a partnership with Brazilian lawyers, Rui Correia offers a truly transnational legal service, strategically located next to the Consulate of Portugal in Fortaleza.
