Letter from the Court: What to do?

Receiving a letter from the court can cause anxiety, especially when the person doesn't know if it's a simple notification, a summons, a seizure order, a summons for a hearing, or a court decision. Often, the greatest risk lies not only in the content of the letter, but in the timeframe that begins [...]

Domestic violence: reporting and protection measures

Domestic violence is a serious, often silent reality, which can affect people of different ages, family backgrounds and economic situations. It can happen within marriage, a de facto relationship, a dating relationship, after a separation, between relatives or towards particularly vulnerable individuals. Knowing how to report domestic violence and what measures to [...]

Copyright: fair use, licenses and content removal

There is a modern conflict that seems small, but can blow up into compensation claims, removals and lawsuits. A photo used on a website. A video repurposed in a reel. An article copied to a blog. A song behind an advert. A logo on a “just testing” leaflet. It almost always begins with the same phrase: “but it's [...]

Computer scam: how to recover your money and make a complaint

There is a type of loss that hurts twice. First, for the money. Then, for the feeling of having been fooled with absurd ease. A “bank” link that wasn't actually from the bank. An advert with a price too good to be true. An MB WAY transfer requested urgently. An email from “support” that seemed legitimate. In minutes, the [...]

Drink-driving: consequences and legal limits

There's an error that always starts the same way: “I'm fine to drive.” The person feels lucid, knows the route, has driven like this before, and thinks the only risk is getting caught in a stop-and-search operation. But driving under the influence of alcohol isn't just a matter of a fine. It's a matter of legal limits, [...]

Shared Ownership: How It Works and When It Applies

There are separations that end a couple, but do not end a family. When there are children, the most difficult question is rarely “who gets the house”. It is another, quieter and heavier: how will the children live from now on, with stability, routines and the real presence of both parents? It is [...]

I have been made a suspect: what does it mean and what are my rights

For many people, being formally accused sounds like a conviction. As if the outcome had already been decided. As if, from that moment on, there was no turning back. But being formally accused is not a sentence. It's a procedural status. And, paradoxically, it is often the moment when the law begins to protect [...]

Drug trafficking and penalties in Portugal

There are moments when a single word changes everything. A police encounter on the street. A house search. A seemingly "harmless" text message. A friend asking to hold a package. A "quick" ride in exchange for money. From one minute to the next, the person stops explaining a situation [...]

Civil and Criminal Liability of Company Directors

Accepting a position on a company's board is often a sign of trust. But it also means stepping into a role where day-to-day decisions can have consequences far beyond internal management. There's a comfortable myth that needs to be dispelled early on: being a director is not just about representing the company, it's about answering for [...]

Criminal Lawyer: What they do

There's a type of problem that arrives without warning and changes the rhythm of life in an instant. A call from the police. A notification from the Public Prosecutor's Office. A search. An unexpected accusation. Or, on the other hand, the feeling of injustice experienced by someone who has been the victim of a crime and doesn't know where to begin. It's here [...]
