Our Partnership — EUAdv was founded on the shared experience of two Brazilian lawyers who built their careers across different countries. Marina has lived in Europe since 2019, while Elaine established her professional career in Canada as a Licensed Paralegal and Notary Public. Together, they have firsthand experience of the challenges involved in building a new life abroad, navigating different legal systems, and managing legal matters across multiple jurisdictions.
Combined with a professional partnership spanning more than a decade, this experience has shaped the way we serve our clients: through strategic legal guidance, clear communication, and practical solutions that take into account both the country of origin and the destination country.
About EUAdv
Two Legal Careers, One Shared Vision
Marina Ehlke — A Legal Career Built Across Brazil and Europe
Marina Ehlke has been practising law since 2013, with experience in Administrative Law, Public Law, Estate Law, and Immigration Law. Since 2019, she has lived in Europe, first in Portugal and now in Ireland, where she works closely with Brazilians seeking to relocate abroad and foreign nationals wishing to establish themselves in Brazil.
She holds a postgraduate qualification in Administrative Law from "Luiz Flávio Gomes Institute" and is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Administrative Law at the University of Minho, Portugal.
Having experienced immigration firsthand, Marina understands the legal and personal challenges of building a life in another country and navigating different legal systems. Combined with her professional experience, this perspective enables her to provide strategic, practical, and personalised legal guidance for immigration to Ireland and legal matters involving Brazil.
