“As I always expected Sara was the person that first reached out with the news. She played a key role with providing all the necessary information and helping us navigate the Portuguese bureaucracy and getting our first two residence permits in place.”
“Sara is also a friend of mine. I have worked closely with her processing many many investors and visa-seekers in Portugal. The reason I work closely with her is that she’s the best visa/immigration lawyer I can find, and I have worked with +50 law firms in Portugal. She has just set up PRIME LEGAL alongside some other big hitters.”
“We hired Sarah Sousa Rebolo and Miguel Cruz Silva to handle our Golden Visa application. They have diligently (and patiently) guided us through the entire process; explaining it in detail every step of the way. They were extremely responsive, answering our calls from an 8-hour time zone difference into the early hours of the morning, and, worked hard to get our application completed prior to the end of 2021. In addition, they are honest, ethical, kind, and speak fluent English, making it very nice to work with them. Though we are still waiting on SEF for our final appointment, we are very satisfied with the work they have done thus far.”
“I am proud of your devotion in ensuring the success of every project. I am grateful for all you have done for the Fund Business Department. “
“I want to be clear that we were very happy with your professionalism and the quality of support/communication. We hope the new project will be the best place to realize your great potential, and we will be happy to cross again. The first impression we got from You was essential for our choice of law firm in Portugal.”
“I have had the rewarding professional experience of working with Dra. Sara Rebolo and her team, including Dr. Miguel Silva, for the past 1.5 years. During this time, I have benefited from smart, strategic thought partners who are willing and able to embrace my perspectives as a foreigner and to understand and meet me in creative thinking while providing the balance of adherence to Portuguese law and customary society. Through my engagement with the firm, I have learned important lessons about doing business in Portugal and my business has strengthened its global footprint. It is my pleasure to recommend Prime Legal to anyone seeking affiliation with a forward thinking, results oriented professional law firm in Portugal and most especially for those seeking counsel in the immigration by investment sector where Dra. Rebolo’s efforts are unparalleled.”
“I’d like to offer our heartfelt respect for your great efforts in the workplace on behalf of the Fund Business Department. I admire everything you’ve done for us throughout the years while you’ve been with us. The hours you’ve put in here, as well as the competence you’ve displayed, have greatly inspired the entire our team.”
