José Carlos Soares Machado, Partner at SRS Advogados, was honoured by Círculo de Advogados de Contencioso (the Portuguese Litigation Lawyers' Circle), in his capacity as founder and first president of the association.
The moment took place on 1 July, on the occasion of the VI Magistrates Lawyers Dialogues Conference, held in Estoril.
The members of Círculo de Advogados de Contencioso, as well as all the magistrates present, wanted to pay homage to the man who was the "architect" of the structure, purpose and values of this association of lawyers specialising in commercial litigation, where all issues related to the practice of law and justice are debated, in close interconnection with the judiciary.
