Atlantic Legal

Aveiro, Portugal

Established in 2010, Atlantic Legal was founded by José Alexander Pessanha Pereira de Melo, a dual British-Portuguese lawyer and graduate of the University of Coimbra. What began as a boutique practice in Estarreja has evolved into a trusted Portuguese law firm advising both domestic and international clients.

Atlantic Legal combines strong transactional expertise with solid courtroom experience, allowing the firm to anticipate risks, prevent disputes, and protect clients’ interests with clarity and foresight.

The firm provides legal services particularly in:

  • Portuguese Real Estate Law (property acquisition, due diligence, development projects)

  • Family Law (divorce, parental responsibilities, cross-border matters)

  • Labour Law (employment contracts, termination, employer advisory)

  • General Civil and Commercial Legal Counsel

With extensive experience assisting foreign investors, expatriates, and Portuguese nationals living abroad, Atlantic Legal ensures clear communication in fluent English and provides strategic legal guidance tailored to international standards.

The firm is committed to delivering precise, independent, and solution-oriented advice while maintaining the highest ethical and professional standards.
