Kertesz Advocacia Internacional, with its own headquarters in the City of Rio de Janeiro and the District of Aveiro in Portugal, began its career working in Portuguese nationality processes.
It is one of the oldest law firms, exclusively for Portuguese nationality law, both in Portugal and in Brazil. Its first headquarters was on Avenida Marechal Câmara, in the center of Rio de Janeiro, where, in the same building, the Consulate General of Portugal in Rio de Janeiro was also located.
His experience in the area is vast, and his legal knowledge is solid. Currently, in addition to representing numerous families in Portuguese nationality processes, its professionals also work in other European Union countries, such as Germany, Austria, Poland and Hungary.
