About Fisher & Associados

(Known Online as FRESH Portugal)

The Expat Law Firm

Fisher & Associados is a premier international law firm dedicated to guiding high-net-worth individuals, successful entrepreneurs, and globally minded professionals through strategic life planning — including global residency solutions and seamless relocation to Europe.

Headquartered in Portugal and regulated by the Ordem de Advogados (Portuguese Bar Association), Fisher & Associados is Portugal's largest expat legal advisory, operating under the FRESH Portugal brand. The firm also works through a network of associated entities in the U.S., UK, Spain, and Italy, enabling clients to navigate complex cross-border matters with confidence.

How We Started

The firm was founded by Zeev Fisher, one of Europe's most respected international tax lawyers. A British, Israeli, and EU national, Mr. Fisher is admitted to practice in the UK, Ireland, Israel, and Portugal, and is also a U.S. IRS Enrolled Agent, authorised to represent clients before the Internal Revenue Service.

Over his career, he has successfully founded multiple law firms in Israel, the UK, the U.S., and Portugal, as well as a legal technology company in the UK, which he exited in 2020. Beyond his legal practice, Mr. Fisher is an active angel investor, mentor, and ecosystem builder in the tech sectors of both Portugal and the UK, participating in investor groups and advising start-ups and students at leading institutions, including Nova University in Lisbon.

Our Team

Alongside Mr. Fisher, the firm has assembled a team of exceptional, often dual-qualified lawyers recruited from top law and accounting firms. This structure allows for specialised departments with deep expertise in tax, immigration, corporate, estate planning, and investment law.

The firm enjoys a stellar reputation, recognised for technical excellence, strategic insight, and client-focused service.

Our Clients

We work exclusively with successful, ambitious, and globally minded clients — entrepreneurs, executives, investors, and professionals who seek opportunity, mobility, and quality of life. Our clients do not invest in or relocate to Southern Europe for a lower cost of living; they choose it for cultural richness, business potential, and strategic advantages.

Fisher & Associados is built to serve that vision — providing the legal and strategic support that turns aspiration into reality.

Our Services

In addition to the services offered under the Fresh Portugal brand, our global mobility team advises on Golden Visa applications in Portugal and Italy. Our practice covers complex cross-border tax planning, estate structuring, corporate advisory, and real estate transactions — all designed for discerning clients who expect precision, unwavering commitment to their interests, and tangible results.

We are known for thinking several moves ahead — anticipating complexity, building resilient strategies, and tailoring every solution to our clients' unique goals and ambitions.

ON A MISSION TO ENSURE YOUR NEW LIFE IN PORTUGAL IS A SUCCESS

Moving to Portugal can be an amazing decision or go very wrong.

Not only is the nature of cross-border issues more complex, but also different cultures mean different rules. In Portugal, time moves differently. Authorities have wide powers, and who you know and your attitude matter.

That's why you need a firm that has your back.

FRESH PORTUGAL is the largest expat legal advisory in Portugal. We help thousands of expat families and our mission is simple: to make Portugal feel like home.

Our services include tax, immigration, investments, corporate, and estate planning. Most importantly, we guide you through a new culture into your new life.

People move for a better life. We make it happen.

WHAT DO WE DO?

We offer short half-hour consultations to expats who want to know how their income will be treated in Portugal. Our Portugal tax consultation covers people from the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia, UAE, Hong-Kong and many other places.
