A group of young lawyers from Erasmus University Rotterdam visited GANADO Advocates' offices in Valletta on the 18th of October as part of a study tour to Malta and Piraeus, to gain experience of the maritime sector through a practical legal lens. The GANADO Advocates´ Shipping team provided an enthusiastic and appreciative audience with a tailored familiarisation visit and networking sessions as well as valuable insights to the department´s day-to-day work.
