Project development

"They have a thorough knowledge of the local laws and legislations concerning concession agreements. A deep understanding of the intricacies and mentalities of our counterparts when conducting negotiations. Their availability at very short notice and at times beyond the normal office hours to render us advice and discuss strategies during the negotiations. Their eagerness to work and do what is necessary always with a smile and a profound sense of commitment. When needed, their office facilities and supporting staff were put at our disposal. Their impeccable communication skills in English, in a country where Portuguese is the primary language."
