Tagus Legal’s Terms & Conditions of Use
These general terms and conditions of business govern the contractual relationships between you, the Client, and us, Crossborder Corporate Law LLP. They are subject to applicable law and regulations and, as the case may be, to the specific provisions of our engagement.
1. Investment Advice
Investment advice is a regulated activity and we are not authorised to carry it out. Consequently we will not provide you with any investment advice and nothing we may say or recommend can be construed as investment advice. We will provide market or regulatory information as you may request from time to time, but any decision you may make to invest in a particular asset is to be reached by you independently or under advice from an authorised investment adviser. For this purpose, we may introduce you to an authorised investment adviser, but they shall be solely responsible for the advice they may provide, independently of whether or not they are a Tagus Legal’s member firm.
2. Legal Advice
All of our lawyers are regulated by the Portuguese Law Bar Association, enabling us to provide comprehensive legal advice. Our team offers expert guidance through complex legal matters, ensuring you receive reliable counsel based on our legal expertise. We will also provide relevant market or regulatory information as needed. You can confidently make decisions regarding your legal affairs, backed by the professional advice of our qualified lawyers.

We undertake to look into any complaint carefully and promptly and to do all we can to correct the situation and/or explain the position to you.
5. Orders and Payment
Your orders are deemed as placed and accepted upon our written confirmation and payment for our relevant invoice. Our invoices are payable on presentation. We reserve the right to charge interest at 2% per year over base rate in the case of overdue accounts. We may terminate our engagement and cease acting if payment of any fees billed is unduly delayed.
6. Refunds
In the event our engagement ends for whatever reason we shall be under no obligation to refund any fee payments we may have received, but we will immediately refund any funds you may have entrusted us with aimed at making payments on your behalf to third parties, such as the Government, property vendors or suppliers.
7. Copyright
The information which we provide to you under the terms of an engagement is for your sole use and you may not communicate it to any third party except if the sole purpose of such communication is to seek advice from legal, financial and other professionals.
8. Limitation of Liability
We will provide the professional services outlined in an email or letter of engagement with reasonable care and skill. However, we will not be responsible for any losses, penalties, surcharges, interest or tax liabilities arising from the supply by you or others of incorrect or incomplete information, or from the use by you or others of any information we supply.
9. Applicable Law
Our engagement is governed by, and construed in accordance with, Portuguese law. The Courts of Portugal will have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim, dispute, or difference concerning the engagement and any matter arising from it. Each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to object to any action being brought in those courts, to claim that the action has been brought in an inappropriate forum, or to claim that those courts do not have jurisdiction.
10. Additional Applicable Law for Activities in the UK
For services related to our activities in the United Kingdom, specific UK terms and conditions, including the provisions of the ‘Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999’, may also apply. This act allows certain non-contractual parties to enforce rights under specific conditions. However, it is noted that in our contracts, we expressly limit the application of this law so that only contractual parties may enforce rights under the contract. Any contractual implications concerning the UK are thus clearly defined and subject to relevant British legislation.
Tagus Legal’s Data Protection
