Career path
The journey clients make, she has made
- Fernanda Kubrusly spent eight years in private banking at BTG Pactual and in investment advisory at XP, in Brazil, designing strategy for high-net-worth families. In 2018 she moved to Lisbon and made the same journey that clients make today: the paperwork, the residency, taxes in two countries and the everyday practicalities of starting over.
- In Portugal, she ran the Portuguese arm of a global investor network and was a partner in a real estate investment firm for foreign buyers. It was then that she went back to university: she graduated in Law from NOVA School of Law and took a postgraduate degree in Real Estate Law at Universidade Católica Portuguesa.
- She then practised at Kore Partners, a boutique dedicated to private client work, and in the tax department of Garrigues, ranked Tier 1 by the international legal directories. She founded Providere to bring together the two perspectives, that of money and that of the law, in a single advisory practice.
In practice
“My wife wants to bring her jewellery collection. Could she be liable for tax on it?”
