Notable practitioners
André de Luizi Correia is an experienced practitioner who routinely deals with arbitration matters in the construction and infrastructure industries.
André is a distinguished professional, with high power of eloquence and speed in reasoning, enabling great debates, especially in arbitrations. Strong strategist.
André is always available. Despite having a great team, he doesn't delegate, but he's the one dealing directly with me and this gives me a lot of reassurance.
André is a fantastic lawyer. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. He has the ability to render complex cases quite simple for the arbitration panels.
He looks like an engineer dressed up as a lawyer due to his ability to understand engineering projects. He translates our projects into legalese quite well.
