01

APPROACH

“International legal practice goes beyond knowledge of laws and international treaties. It is about understanding people on the move, navigating different cultures, languages, and legal systems.”

Professional Journey

Laís Sampaio International Law

Laís Sampaio - International Lawyer

Master's Degree in International Legal Sciences - University of Lisbon 

Brazilian Bar Association - OAB/PB No. 24,116

Ms. Laís Sampaio's professional journey is defined by courage, empathy, and legal excellence. She has practiced law for over eight years and holds a Master's degree in International Legal Studies from the Faculty of Law of the University of Lisbon. She is also pursuing a postgraduate specialization in International Legal Practice at the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais (PUC - Minas).

In 2019, she moved to Portugal after being admitted to the master's program — an experience that transformed her perspective on the practice of law. Witnessing firsthand the legal challenges faced by Brazilians living abroad led her to discover her true purpose: making international legal matters more accessible while protecting the rights and interests of individuals living outside their home country.

Since then, she has dedicated her practice exclusively to international law, providing strategic, preventive, and client-centered legal counsel. Her work combines technical excellence with a deep understanding of the cultural and personal nuances that shape each client's journey.

“Our purpose is to simplify the lives of those who need to address legal matters across borders, providing legal security, clarity, and strategic guidance at every stage.”
