About

Provided by PLMJ

Despite being a Portuguese firm, 40% of PLMJ's clients are international.

To better serve its clients, the firm has created PLMJ Colab, a collaborative network of law firms in Portugal and other countries with which it has cultural and strategic links. PLMJ Colab makes the best use of resources and provides a concerted response to our clients' international challenges, wherever they may be.

The firm has a long tradition of being the go-to firm for the Portuguese aspects of the largest global transactions and disputes, in partnership with other major international law firms.

PLMJ understands the challenges and opportunities of the sectors and markets in which its clients operate and maintains close contact with the regulators in each sector.

What the Team is Known For

PLMJ is a popular choice as co-counsel, partnering with established international law firms to handle the Portuguese elements of large, multi-jurisdictional transactions and disputes. It is also well equipped to coordinate cross-border work as lead counsel for Portuguese businesses, drawing upon its relationships with highly rated firms in other jurisdictions. To further facilitate cross-border coordination, the firm created 'PLMJ Colab', a collaborative network of law firms in lusophone African jurisdictions, Timor-Leste and Macau.

Its clientele includes international corporations, financial institutions and private equity funds, and it has a notable presence in international energy and infrastructure projects. The law firm's cross-border approach is also characterised by a first-class disputes team which frequently represents its clients in commercial and financial litigation, with added capability in international arbitration. PLMJ is additionally sought after for criminal cases concerning corruption, fraud and money laundering.
