DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary’s Portuguese ally, Miranda Correia Amendoeira & Associados, has drawn up plans to overhaul its management in a move that would see founding partner Agostinho Pereira de Miranda stepping down as managing partner.

The proposed changes, which are subject to a vote by the partner-ship on 4 March, would increase the firm’s main board from three to five and create a new three-member executive committee.
