The Beginning

The Beginning

DNM was founded in November 2002, with offices in Pombal. Its roots reach back to the early 1990s, when Mário Diogo and Paulo Neto decided to work together. In a region whose business landscape was rapidly expanding, these two friends and lawyers focused on supporting corporate clients and foreign investment in this part of Portuguese territory. With a sustained growth of their professional activity, in the late 1990s Jorge Marques was invited to join the firm as a partner.
