CEO & Founder · BBA Law
Immigration Lawyer, CEO and Business Mentor
Bruna leads BBA Law in Lisbon, advising international investors and families on residency and citizenship in Portugal — and mentors entrepreneurs who want to build solid, well-structured businesses.
The Lawyer
Bruna Barreto is a lawyer and CEO of BBA, with a practice focused on international mobility, residency structuring in Portugal and strategic legal advisory for foreign investors.
Throughout her career she has assisted high-profile clients with the Golden Visa and other visas and residence permits, working closely with international investors and families from multiple continents. That global perspective gives her sensitivity to the cultural, financial and legal particularities of each case.
Having relocated to Portugal with her own family, she understands first-hand the challenges and decisions involved in immigration — and brings an empathetic, practical and solution-oriented approach to every client.
“Each case is unique. My role is to simplify complexity, protect my clients’ interests and deliver results with precision.”
Bruna Barreto · CEO, BBA Law
The CEO
Bruna founded BBA to offer what she knew international clients needed: structured, discreet, end-to-end legal guidance. Today she leads a multidisciplinary team in Lisbon — lawyers, legal assistants and client-success specialists — with the same principles she applies to her own life.
A marathon runner, Bruna brings the same consistency and endurance to every case and to the way she leads the firm.
Structured processes, clear timelines and attention to detail at every stage of the client journey.
She has lived the immigration journey herself and understands the human side of every decision.
Business Mentoring
Beyond the law firm, Bruna mentors entrepreneurs and professionals who want to grow with structure. She shares what she learned building BBA from the ground up in a new country: how to position a service business, organise a team and processes, and earn the trust of international clients.
