Economy of the Sea

The sea is one of Portugal's most important natural resources. Its strategic potential vis-à-vis economic activities and uses, is endless.

Portuguese maritime territory is already 18 times larger than its territory: an "oceanic platform" amidst three continents - Europe, Africa and America.

We strive to mobilize other "maritime nations", namely other Portuguese-speaking countries in jurisdictions in which VdA Legal Partners operates.

We have built a specific multidisciplinary team with deep knowledge and expertise on the Economy of the Sea cluster, providing our clients with top-quality legal services in all matters involved in this innovative sector.
