Fátima Dermawan admitted to New York State Bar

News | 01 July 2020

We are pleased to announce the admission of our Senior Associate, Fátima Dermawan, to the New York State Bar. Fátima is a team member of our Litigation & Arbitration team and is the only Macau lawyer with triple qualifications in both common law and civil law jurisdictions (admitted in Macau, New York and Portugal).

Francisco Leitão, partner of the Litigation & Arbitration team, says "I have had the privilege of being a front-row witness to Fátima’s professional development within our team, and her admission to the New York Bar is testimony to Fátima’s outstanding talents as a lawyer. It is a just reward for how hard she worked during her time at Harvard, and may I say, for how much we at the firm missed her during that period. Looking ahead, Fátima's cross-border vocation will see her play a bigger role in the development of the firm's international strategy."
