SRS strengthens its Madeira office

SRS Advogados has recruited Cristina Dionísio as a consultant in its Madeira office. The appointment comes in connection with the growth strategy and technical valuation of two core areas of the firm: Shipping and Madeira Free Trade Zone.

With more than 20 years' experience as a lawyer, Cristina Dionísio is currently CEO of Asinergy Corporate Services Ltd., which is based in Funchal.

Cristina graduated in Law from the University of Coimbra in 1992, from where she went on to be Legal Adviser to the Autonomous Government of Madeira in Regional Heritage Management and Legal Adviser to Dixcart Management Madeira in Commercial, Tax and Employment Law in 1993. From 2008 to 2015 she was Managing Partner of Vallerton Management e Serviços in Funchal.

"We were one of the first national law firms to recognize the Madeira Free Trade Zone's potential and to gamble on its subsequent development. This appointment is one more step in the strategy towards growth and excellence in this area, as well as in the Shipping and International Shipping Registry of Madeira areas," remarked José Luís Moreira da Silva, head partner of the Madeira office.  

"Cristina Dionísio's technical knowledge and ability will certainly be an addition which will add value, depth and difference to our firm," noted Gonçalo Maia Camelo, head of the Funchal office.
