Miranda promotes one partner, two equity partners
Miranda has promoted João Amaral to partner and Nuno Gouveia and Pedro Melo have become equity partners
Diogo Xavier da Cunha, Miranda & Associados managing partner, stated that “the promotion of lawyers and the strengthening of the team of partners reflects the recognition and quality of these lawyers, as well as our commitment to the growth of Miranda and Miranda Alliance. We remain firm in the implementation of our strategy, promoting based on the merit of our employees. The promotion of João Amaral (pictured left), a lawyer who has been with us for 15 years with an unbeatable dedication to the firm’s international expansion project, is a clear example of our policy. Likewise, the integration of Nuno Gouveia (pictured centre) and Pedro Melo (pictured right) in the group of Miranda equity partners translates a strong investment in the future of the firm, in addition to, of course, a deserved recognition for the way they have contributed to the success, prestige and cohesion of the firm.”
