Susana Pragosa

Graduated by the Lisbon University Law School. As soon as she finished her degree, she started an international experience and lived 6 years in Macau where she worked, essentially, in the area of International Law.

When she returned in 2011, she started her internship and has been registered with the Portuguese Bar Association since 2012.

During her internship she worked in several areas, but what she always believed in and what really fulfills her is working with and for people, so from an early age she became interested in Family Law.

Mother of 6 children (4 children and 2 stepchildren), she is used to managing and dealing with situations that are then reflected in her professional context.

She works closely with the Client, being always alert to their needs and objectives, never neglecting the best interest of the Children, since that is essentially what drives and motivates her.
