Over 30 Years of Creating Legal Certainty, with an Identity Shaped by Rigour, International Vision and Art

History

HISTORY Over 30 Years of Evolution, from Local Rigour to Global Reach.

Founded in 1993, TFRA grew from a specialist tax and corporate law practice into a full-service law firm combining legal rigour with a business-oriented approach, providing practical and integrated solutions to its clients. We specialise in advising national and international companies, from strategic planning through to the execution and operational management of investments. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive advice across all areas affecting our clients’ activities.

Since 2017, TFRA has been Ally Law’s exclusive member in Portugal – an international network of selected law firms focused on business law. This partnership enables us to provide global legal services backed by in-depth local knowledge, ensuring swift and effective responses.

In 2026, TFRA consolidated its natural evolution into a multidisciplinary structure, becoming TFRA – Law Firm and Consultants, SP RL.

This transformation reflects the reality of our practice: legal teams working side by side with consultants specialised in technical, technological and management areas, enabling us to provide integrated solutions throughout the entire lifecycle of our clients’ projects. Our work combines legal rigour with complementary expertise in real estate, data protection and technology, compliance, taxation and economic and financial consultancy, strengthening our ability to respond in increasingly complex and regulated environments.

This expansion of our capabilities is accompanied by an unwavering commitment to the ethical standards of the legal profession: we maintain a strict separation between legal and non-legal services, safeguard confidentiality and professional secrecy at every stage of our work, and preserve the independence and integrity that have always defined us.

TFRA has professionals recognised in leading international rankings, including:

HISTÓRIA

Mais de 30 anos de evolução, do rigor local ao alcance global.

Fundada em 1993, a TFRA cresceu de um núcleo especializado em direito fiscal e societário para uma sociedade de prática jurídica abrangente que combina rigor jurídico com visão empresarial, oferecendo soluções práticas e integradas aos seus clientes.

Especializamo-nos no acompanhamento jurídico de empresas nacionais e internacionais, desde o planeamento estratégico até à execução e gestão operacional dos investimentos. A nossa abordagem multidisciplinar garante assessoria completa em todas as áreas que impactam a atividade dos clientes.

Desde 2017, a TFRA é o membro exclusivo da Ally Law em Portugal – uma rede internacional de sociedades de advogados selecionadas, focada em direito empresarial. Esta parceria permite-nos oferecer serviços jurídicos globais com conhecimento local aprofundado, assegurando respostas céleres e eficazes. . Os membros da Ally Law são continuamente avaliados quanto à qualidade dos serviços e reconhecidos por diretórios internacionais de referência como Chambers & Partners, Legal 500 e Best Lawyers.

A TFRA foi reconhecida na edição The Best Lawyers in Portugal™ 2026, com destaque para quatro dos seus profissionais em várias áreas de prática, reconhecimento que resulta do trabalho das nossas equipas e da avaliação e confiança dos nossos pares e clientes.

Em 2026, a TFRA consolidou a sua evolução natural para uma estrutura multidisciplinar, passando a TFRA – Sociedade de Advogados e Consultores SP RL.

Esta transformação reflete a realidade da nossa prática: equipas jurídicas que trabalham lado a lado com consultores especializados em áreas técnicas, tecnológicas e de gestão, permitindo-nos oferecer soluções integradas que acompanham todo o ciclo de vida dos projetos dos nossos clientes. A nossa atuação combina rigor jurídico com competências complementares em imobiliário, proteção de dados e tecnologias, compliance, fiscalidade e consultoria económico‑financeira, reforçando a capacidade de resposta em contextos cada vez mais complexos e regulados.

Esta ampliação de competências é acompanhada por um compromisso inalterado com as exigências éticas da advocacia: mantemos a separação rigorosa entre serviços jurídicos e não jurídicos, garantimos a confidencialidade e o segredo profissional em todas as fases do trabalho, preservando a independência e a integridade que sempre nos definiram.

Values

Our work is founded on five core values. Rigour, reflected in sound legal analysis and constant attention to detail. Agility, inherent in compact teams and direct communication, enabling us to respond quickly and accurately. Trust, built through long-term relationships based on transparency and integrity. A results-oriented approach, supporting each project from planning through to execution. And an international outlook, strengthened by our exclusive membership of Ally Law in Portugal, connecting us to more than 70 jurisdictions and extending the reach of the solutions we provide.

Our mission is to create legal certainty that accelerates decision-making and brings projects to fruition, offering integrated advice that covers the entire lifecycle of our clients’ investments. We aspire to be a benchmark in modern corporate law in Portugal and a trusted partner in international transactions, combining technical excellence, operational agility and a close, rigorous and human approach.

Art Collection
