About Antas da Cunha Ecija

Antas da Cunha Ecija & Associados is a project born of its founding partners’ realisation that there was a need and a great opportunity to start an unparalleled and revolutionary project in the market of law firms in Portugal.

Antas da Cunha Ecija & Associados is built on a perspective of sustained growth tailored to address the needs felt by us and that our Clients bring to us.

The solid academic background of our team and of two of our founding partners was the stepping-stone for this project.

We are, however, well aware of the constant need to innovate. Innovation is the driving force behind our daily work, enabling us to be better equipped to meet our clients’ requirements and stay in step with market dynamics.
