ABRS Advogados is a project born from a group of lawyers who worked for more than a decade on road traffic and workplace accident cases, representing insurers, and who witnessed first-hand the asymmetry of resources to which justice subjects accident victims in Portugal.

How we work
We are a for-profit organization: our team depends on a sustainable practice. That does not mean we are motivated only by profit. We have values that guide how we accept cases, organize our work and support each client.
We often meet clients at one of the lowest points in their lives, after a traumatic event. We try to help exactly there: with legal guidance, but also by making recovery more attainable through support with administrative and bureaucratic issues. Our interaction should be competent, pragmatic and human.
Our work must make sense for the person who comes to us. We explain risks, alternatives and costs clearly, and avoid steps that do not add real value to the case, and we do not charge by the hour, seeking to keep our fees substantially dependent on the results we deliver to our clients. Our clients' interests are our interests.
Not only must our lawyers comply with the independence rules set out in the Portuguese Bar Association Statute, we also refuse to represent any insurance company or business that could compromise our single focus on the injured person.
Insurance companies have extensive resources. To compete at the same level, we need to be extremely efficient: choose cases carefully, focus effort where there is real viability and use every appropriate tool, including technology and AI tools, to allocate time, attention and knowledge more effectively to our clients' cases. That is why we always offer a viability assessment of the claim before proposing to move forward.
Insurers work with organized legal teams. We also need to work as a team, with people focused on different stages of the case, from medical evidence to negotiation and litigation.
Only a highly specialized practice can compete with organizations that handle claims every day. That is why we focus our work on road traffic and workplace accident cases involving injury, with lawyers experienced in these matters.
We do not deny that economic sustainability matters. The right way to make it work for clients is to align incentives: whenever appropriate and compatible with professional rules, we seek fee structures with an outcome-linked component, unless the client prefers another structure. Our clients' success should also be our success.
The practice is focused on road traffic accidents, work accidents and compensation disputes with insurers.
