Introduce a clientA practice built on purpose
The practice is led by Mariana Silva Cunha, a Portuguese lawyer focused on immigration and nationality law and registered with the Ordem dos Advogados under licence no. 63002P.
Her legal career began in other areas of law, which gave her a broader foundation and a wider perspective on the profession. Over time immigration and nationality became the work she felt aligned with, legal precision applied to decisions that change a family's life.
Fluent in English and focused on international clients, she works daily with individuals and families who have decided Portugal is where they want to start over: visa applications, residence permits, nationality requests and everything the journey entails.
“My goal is not only to provide sound legal guidance, but also to offer reassurance and stability throughout what is, almost always, a demanding transition.”
