In the area of dispute resolution, Amorim has acted as counsel in arbitration proceedings and has also served as an arbitrator.

Nuno Sá Carvalho, managing partner of Cuatrecasas in Portugal, comments: “Cuatrecasas’ activity is focused on the most complex transactions and on the most relevant clients in the market. We therefore seek the best talent to meet these strategic objectives and generate added value for our clients. The integration of Tiago Amorim fits perfectly with Cuatrecasas’ strategic plan for the coming years.”

Tiago Amorim notes: “This integration represents a return ‘home’, as in 1998 I joined Gonçalves Pereira, Castelo Branco & Associados, which later entered into an agreement with Cuatrecasas. I am returning to a firm that has evolved greatly and is now much more international, with the ambition of contributing, through my experience, to the growth of the public law practice and of the Porto office as a whole.”
