Andrade Dias & Associados was incorporated in 1994, having as its main founding partner the deceased Mr. Mateus Andrade Dias.
The firm developed from a law office lead by Mr. Mateus Andrade Dias who started his Shipping Practise in 1962. At the present date, following the tendencies of the Portuguese maritime law market, Andrade Dias & Associados refuses to follow the path of mass production under the principle that “small is beautiful” and growth is good but does not stand for excellence.
