Hugo Monteiro

Expert guidance on a complex cross-border insurance matter

I engaged Hugo Monteiro of PRA-Raposo, Sá Miranda & Associados to assist my San Diego-based tech startup with a complex insurance coverage dispute involving our Portuguese subsidiary. While his firm is based in Porto, Hugo's deep understanding of international Insurance Law was immediately evident and perfectly suited our needs. His recognition in that field, as well as in Corporate Law, was a primary reason for our selection, and his expertise lived up to that billing. He provided exceptionally clear, strategic advice that navigated the nuances of both Portuguese regulations and our corporate structure, ultimately helping us secure a favorable resolution without protracted litigation. His analysis of the policy language and the corporate liability chain was meticulous. The one area where I noted a slight delay was in initial email responses during their local business hours, which sometimes required a follow-up given the time zone difference with California. However, once engaged, his communication was thorough and his counsel invaluable. For any U.S. company with legal matters touching Portugal, especially in his recognized practice areas, Hugo is a formidable and highly knowledgeable resource.
