ABOUT ME
Meet Sara Thormann
I (Sara Thormann Magalhães) am a solicitadora (portuguese solicitor), working in a wide range of legal areas. My office is based in the city of Lagos, in the Algarve, where I grew up.
​
With dual German and Portuguese nationality, I moved to the UK to study Fine Arts (Bachelor of Arts) at Winchester School of Art, and speak Portuguese, English and German.
​
In 2012 I moved back to Portugal where I worked as a legal assistant at law offices for several years, until I completed my Licenciatura (Bachelor) in Solicitadoria at the Instituto Politécnico de Beja. After completing my internship, I became a legally qualified solicitadora, and have been working in a wide range of legal areas since then.
​
Working in property, residency, and corporate law, I assist my clients in legal procedures in Portugal. Whether you’re purchasing Algarve property, or planning your estate, I provide assistance through every step.
I am dedicated to help you through legal processes and offering you clear advice.
