    Who we are

    A firm with an integrated practice.

    Founded in 2018 by Tiago Rodrigues Lemos, Rodrigues Lemos Advogados was born of the conviction that the best legal advice grows from a deep understanding of the client, their sector, their assets, their family and their goals.

    We work as a small, highly specialised team, which allows us to offer personalised support, with demanding response times and seamless coordination across practice areas. Each client is looked after by lawyers who know their history and respond directly.

    We advise Portuguese and foreign companies, investors, families and private clients on corporate, real estate, employment, contractual, succession, tax and litigation matters.

    Purpose

    For and on behalf of the client.

    Our purpose goes beyond litigation: it is to stand by our clients in critical decisions and to be a trusted partner and point of reference, conveying legal certainty at every step.

    Our mission is to work for the client. For and on behalf of the client. We devote our daily practice to advising clients of every kind and size, offering a tailor-made solution to those who seek us out.

    «Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time as an end.»
