About Danielle
The right solicitor makes all the difference.
Danielle Shrimpton holds a British Law Degree and is enrolled in the Portuguese OSAE of Solicitors. Born in Britain and raised in Portugal, she bridges both worlds with natural fluency, understanding not just the law, but the culture, the language, and the questions you haven't thought to ask yet.
Her career includes a formative period working with the British Consulate, an experience that deepened her understanding of the challenges faced by British nationals living and navigating life abroad.
Her practice focuses on property law and the areas that most affect the expat community: buying and selling, inheritance planning, wills, and probate. Clients come for a transaction. They come back for everything else.
Working as an independent solicitor, Danielle shares offices with her daughter, Edwina, in Lagos. The family connection works to the advantage of clients, who can benefit from a wide range of services and the combination of knowledge and experience in a variety of legal areas.

What we do
Legal services for the expat community.
All the advice you need, in one place and in plain English.
01
Buying & Selling Property
We guide you through every step of purchasing property in Portugal, from promissory contract to final deed, so you never sign anything you don't fully understand.
02
Conveyancing
Thorough title searches, due diligence, and seamless transfer of ownership. We make sure what you're buying is exactly what it appears to be.

A properly drafted Portuguese will protects your family and avoids costly delays. We advise on both Portuguese and UK wills for expats with assets in both countries.
Why clients choose us
