Spear Legal is a firm founded by António Gaspar Schwalbach, a lawyer with over 20 years of experience in taxation and tax litigation, recognized for his ability to combine technical analysis, procedural strategy, and clear communication with clients.
Before founding Spear Legal, he was a partner at leading law firms in Portugal, advising national and international companies on complex tax matters, both in advisory and litigation contexts.
The creation of Spear Legal coincides with a time of technological maturity, in which artificial intelligence solutions allow for enhanced legal analysis and optimized processes, without replacing human judgment. And for Spear Legal, this is a matter of principle: we use artificial intelligence, but all results are verified.
With a results-oriented approach, Spear Legal provides ongoing tax advisory services and representation in tax litigation, supporting companies, family groups, and international investors in their dealings with the Tax Authority and the courts.
Spear Legal was founded on a conviction:
expertise must be tailored to each client.
It is from this principle that our motto is born—Adapt.Ability.
Technical excellence and rigor guide every decision. Our close relationship with clients transforms legal knowledge into solutions that create value.
Our practice is built on three pillars:
Spear Legal has an agile and technology-driven structure, ensuring speed and efficiency.
We use artificial intelligence responsibly to support document analysis, case management, and information organization—always under human supervision and in accordance with the ethical principles of the legal profession.
In matters outside the tax sphere, we collaborate with trusted partners, ensuring a seamless and consistent service across all areas of law.
At Spear Legal, we believe that legal knowledge should also serve the community.
That is why we undertake an annual pro bono commitment, as an expression of our sense of responsibility and contribution to the common good.
