Partner

Nuno Antunes is a Partner at Miranda & Associados with more than 25 years of experience, focusing on energy cuts across all sub-sectors (oil and gas, LNG, power, renewables, hydrogen, CCUS), covering complex energy-related constitutional and public law, regulatory, environmental, HSE, procurement, finance and ESG, tax, land, transactional, investment, and contract matters, while spreading over multiple jurisdictions (Portugal, Lusophone and Francophone Africa, Timor-Leste).

He is a frequent speaker at international conferences on topics such as upstream petroleum activities, maritime regulation, undelimited maritime areas, and disaster‑related decision‑making in environmental and regulatory contexts. His extensive academic output includes numerous articles and chapters on maritime delimitation, petroleum governance, international adjudication, territorial disputes, and the governance of natural‑resource revenues.

Nuno is also the author of books on maritime delimitation and administrative litigation, and has contributed to several international publications on the law of the sea, joint development zones, and boundary settlement. His work is widely cited in academic and policy discussions involving maritime boundaries, energy regulation, and natural‑resource governance.

With a career bridging private practice, government advisory roles, academia, and technical boundary work, Nuno is regarded as one of the leading Lusophone experts in international maritime law, natural‑resources regulation, and sovereign rights over offshore areas.
