Team
Ricardo Viola
Ricardo Viola founded Viola & Advogados and leads the firm's practice. His work spans the four areas and, in particular, the matters that sit across more than one of them: an immigration question that turns on a tax position, a commercial file that carries criminal exposure.
Gonçalo Claro
Gonçalo Claro handles the firm's immigration files: visas, residence permits and citizenship applications, for individuals and for families moving together. Most of the work is documentary, and most refusals are documentary too, which is where his attention goes.
Ana Luísa Mota
Ana Luísa Mota works alongside the immigration team on the practical mechanics of relocation: fiscal registration, AIMA appointments, supporting documents and the follow-up that keeps a file moving. She is often the person clients speak to most.
Matilde Moreira
Matilde Moreira advises on tax and commercial matters: company formation and restructuring, contracts, and the tax treatment of both. She also handles disputes with the tax authority when a position needs defending.
