We are pleased to announce that one of our senior partners, Geoffrey Graham, has been elected as Chair of the Ireland Portugal Business Network, one of the most dynamic business networks operating in Portugal. Geoffrey was a founder member of the original Network which was founded in 2007 and continued as a member of the Board when the Network was relaunched in 2016 after the State visit of the President of Ireland.
The Network has the support of, amongst others, the Irish Embassy in Portugal, the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of Portugal in Ireland, Enterprise Ireland and AICEP. It gives the opportunity to Irish and Portuguese people to connect and form partnerships and relationships which promote their businesses and, ultimately, increase trade between Portugal and Ireland. This is achieved through a variety of platforms including presentations by business leaders, conferencing events, focussed network events, member meet member events and conversations with political leaders. The prominent online profile of the Network also ensures that the core objectives of the Network, and indeed the Network members, are achieved.
Geoffrey will be seeking to continue the impressive work of his predecessors, and further the geographical reach of the network, increase its sustainability, increase its national and international profile and diversify the existing member sectors. For more information on the network have a look at the website www.ireland-portugal.com and
follow the Network on LinkedIn.

EDGE International Lawyers
On March 14th 2024 the Moving to Portugal Show in central London saw a notable attendance, indicating a growing interest among British buyers in relocating to Portugal.
After our successful trip in February, Edge is returning to the USA this April to continue to provide expert legal advice for Americans looking at Portugal for investment and residency. This time we will be again in Los Angeles and San Francisco but we will also be adding New York and Miami to our roadshow.
Following our previous articles on the recent changes to the Portuguese Law of Nationality, we can now inform that the President of Portugal has now signed off the decree from Parliament that approved the said changes. This was the final act in the legislative process and consequently the law will now be published in the official gazette and become effective.
