About Our Law Firm

Founder and Principal Paul R. Ferreira, phonetically pronounced “feh-REH-rah,” is a strategic leader, a decorated combat veteran, attorney, certified public accountant (CPA), and certified fraud examiner with over 30 years of international and domestic business experience.

He holds licenses to practice law in Florida, New Jersey, and New York, and maintains the highest-level security clearance. Fluent in Portuguese and conversational in Spanish and French.

Ideal clients are the committed owners of small businesses in Tampa Bay, with ten or more employees and formal short- and long-term business plans generating between $1 to $24 million in annual revenues and aspiring to grow. Your family’s well-being is a top priority, and you recognize how crucial your business is to their overall picture. While it is a plus, being a veteran-owned business or having experience doing business with the Department of Defense is not a requirement.

You are seeking a close relationship with a lawyer that feels like an extension of your executive team. Paul steps in as your part-time in-house counsel, offering support for your business plan. Whether it’s tackling short-term projects or navigating long-term goals, he and his team handle all things legal ranging from contracts to ensuring your business has the right insurance coverage. Paul is also here to protect trademarks and ideas and help plan for the future of your business and family.

Leveraging technology, we offer efficiency and convenience. Paul and his team can work from our offices or at your location. Our pricing is clear and adaptable, crafted to fit into your budget. We keep our clients informed every step of the way. We are not just a law firm; we are dedicated partners invested in your success.

About Our Logo

Our logo has a special meaning, reminding us of the work we do to pave the way to success for our clients. Our founder, Paul R. Ferreira, is a first-generation American with Portuguese immigrant parents. The word “Ferreira” means a foundry or forge in Portuguese, inspiring our design featuring a blacksmith’s hammer and anvil.

Our legacy is also reflected in our name, Lexwerx. ‘Lex’ is Latin for law, and ‘werx’ is a deliberate variation of the word “works,” signifying a place where something is created or crafted. Therefore, Lexwerx is a place where your success is forged.
