Maurício Neves

Expert guidance on a complex administrative licensing matter

I engaged Maurício Neves of PRA-Raposo, Sá Miranda & Associados to assist my company with a challenging administrative licensing process for a new commercial venture in Portugal. While his primary office is in Porto, his ability to manage our case from Dallas was seamless. His recognition in Administrative Law by Best Lawyers was immediately evident in his approach. He demonstrated a profound understanding of the intricate regulatory landscape, particularly the nuances of municipal and national administrative procedures that were critical to our application. Maurício provided clear, strategic advice that helped us navigate several potential pitfalls, including a last-minute request for additional documentation from the authorities. His expertise turned a stressful process into a manageable one, and we successfully obtained our license. The only slight drawback was that during peak periods, response times could occasionally stretch to 48 hours, though his replies were always thorough. Overall, his deep knowledge and calm, professional demeanor were invaluable. I would confidently recommend him for any business facing administrative law complexities in the Portuguese jurisdiction.
