Relocation Simplified was founded by me, Lewis, a British lawyer living in Portugal, with one clear goal: to work closely with clients on a personal level, ensuring clear communication and a smooth transition.
Unlike other relocation companies, I don't have fixed office hours. While most companies may close by 5 pm, it's not unusual for me to be speaking with clients late into the evening or on weekends. This flexibility allows me to provide exceptional customer service, and regardless of the time zone differences, we can keep your relocation process moving efficiently.
You will always have me as your direct point of contact throughout the entire process. As your dedicated relocation partner, I am committed to making your move to Portugal as seamless and stress-free as possible.
Lewis Gallacher
Founder
Hi, I'm Lewis, founder of Relocation Simplified. I started this company with one clear goal - to make moving to Portugal straightforward and transparent.

After completing my legal studies at one of the UK's top-ranked universities, I went on to live in three different countries, each time managing the relocation process myself, giving me first-hand experience of the challenges people face when moving abroad.

I work directly with all of my clients, ensuring clarity and consistency from start to finish, regardless of your time zone. Over the past four years, I've built a trusted network of professionals across Portugal, including tax advisors, lawyers, and buyer's agents, filtering out the "cowboys" to ensure my clients only work with the best.

When you work with Relocation Simplified, you're not just getting relocation support - you're gaining a dedicated relocation partner and access to a trusted community of professionals, making every step of your move smoother and more efficient.
