Diogo Furtado Amorim é licenciado pela Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Lisboa e possui mestrado em Direito dos Mercados Financeiros na Faculdade de Direito da Universidade Nova de Lisboa.

Diogo Furtado Amorim da npcf Advogados prepara-se, nesta nova fase, para uma carreira centrada no contencioso e abraça novas áreas do direito: o direito financeiro na sua vertente da inovação tecnológica (fintech).

O convite traduz os frutos da aposta estratégica da npcf na aturada formação dos Estagiários com vista à sua integração futura como colaboradores do escritório, privilegiando o crescimento orgânico e a inovação de novas áreas do direito”, refere Nuno Pinto Coelho de Faria, Managing Partner da npcf.

A versatilidade da formação e o espírito de equipa são destacados por Diogo Furtado Amorim. Nas suas palavras:

Quando decidi seguir a carreira profissional de advogado entendi que o mais benéfico e útil para a minha formação profissional seria encontrar um estágio no qual pudesse trabalhar em diversas áreas, em que pudesse sair da zona de conforto e ao mesmo tempo ter colegas dispostos a ajudar, partilhar experiência, alertar para erros e discutir os assuntos com a profundidade e rigor que a profissão exige.

Na npcf encontrei tudo isto, o que me obrigou a desenvolver conhecimentos e experiências nas mais diversas áreas como seja direito administrativo, societário, contraordenacional, imobiliário, contencioso cível, contencioso administrativo, contratação pública no âmbito aeronáutico.

Embora o meu estágio tenha sido maioritariamente focado na vertente do contencioso tal não implicou que descurasse o meu interesse noutras áreas como o direito financeiro na sua vertente de inovação tecnológica (fintech), área sobre a qual realizei a minha tese mestrado tendo a mesma sido focada em Blockchain e crypto-assets, e na participação e no apoio às iniciativas da Portugal Fintech Association.
