Experience that brings us closer.

The firm
Close support developed
through every conversation.
Understanding your business, listening to your priorities and supporting decisions: this is how we see the relationship between legal practice and business.
2016A vision for a more modern legal practice
SK was founded when Jade joined the Brazilian Bar: a practice close to businesses that goes beyond resolving court disputes to support decisions, prevent risks and help businesses.
2019Supporting businesses beyond borders
Business expansion into other countries created a need to consolidate knowledge of another legal system. Portugal became the next step.
2020SK expands to Portugal
Following Jade's admission to the Portuguese Bar, independent practice expanded to support businesses, individuals and families, including immigration projects.
2025A partnership combining experience and local presence
The partnership with Dr. Nelson Pereira of Pereira, Pinto & Associados connected SK with a firm with over 20 years of practice in Lisbon.
2026New connections and a closer digital presence
After growing through referrals from satisfied clients, SK is preparing a more structured digital presence, also supported by the Lisbon partnership. Developing partnerships in France and Italy for immigration projects and expanding legal knowledge in Spain form part of this stage.
