Paxlegal strenghtens its immigration and nationality practice

Paxlegal has announced the expansion of its immigration and nationality practice area, with the addition of associates Rita Correia Nunes and Marta Ivanchyshyn (both pictured from left to right).

Rita Correia Nunes joins from Legal | Square, where she developed her practice over the last four years, with a special focus on the areas of debt recovery, insolvency, corporate Law, and immigration. She currently focuses primarily on immigration and nationality, providing legal advice to both national and international clients.

Marta Ivanchyshyn comes from Abreu Advogados, a firm she collaborated with for the past six and a half years. She has expertise in litigation, debt recovery, insolvency, real estate law, and immigration and nationality.

“Rita and Marta bring a unique set of skills that perfectly align with our current needs and which we believe are essential to continue responding quickly, accurately, and effectively to the numerous requests we’ve been receiving. In 2024, foreign investment in Portugal reached historic levels, with a 19% increase compared to the previous year, clearly signaling renewed confidence from international investors in the Portuguese economy”, states Bárbara Pestana, founding partner. “The strengthening of this practice area aims to boost our capacity to respond to the many questions stemming from the growing interest in our country”, she adds.
