Miranda Partner Rui Andrade will be a keynote speaker at the "Careers in Africa Summit" to take place on 5, 6 and 7 March 2010, in Cascais. This event is organised by Global Career Company (GCC), and is directed at Angolan and other Portuguese speaking African professionals living in Portugal and across Europe.

Rui's presentation is scheduled to take place on 5 March and will focus on four main topics: i) Basic Rules for Hiring Expatriate Workers in Angola; ii) Employment Contracts Regime for Foreign Workers; iii) Work Visas; and iv) Other Obligations: Employment Contract Registration, Social Security and Personal Income Tax (IRT).

Approximately 3,500 candidates are expected to attend the Summit.
