We are very proud to share with you the news we have received from the US directory Best Lawyers. The directory has recognised PLMJ partners Luís Sáragga Leal, named Portuguese Lawyer of the Year for corporate law, and João Medeiros, named Portuguese Lawyer of the Year for criminal law.
Besides the recognition given to PLMJ founding partner and head of the international projects team, Luís Sáragga Leal, and to the head of PLMJ's criminal litigation and compliance team, João Medeiros, Best Lawyers 2015 has also recognised the professional excellence of 44 of our lawyers, naming them market leaders in their areas of practice.
In an increasingly competitive market, these rankings – prepared by independent publications – are an important benchmark and a public and international recognition of the quality, technical capacity and extensive know-how of our lawyers. They also demonstrate that institutions and businesses see PLMJ as a partner they can trust to resolve their most complex legal problems or to design investment solutions, with a focus on optimising their business and their return on investment.
Over the past year, our teams have once again played an active role in the largest investments and deals carried out in the Portuguese-speaking world. They have supported clients in carrying out their projects or in resolving complex disputes, while guaranteeing dedication and permanent availability, and helping them to find effective, legally innovative solutions.
When we look back on this year and at the moments when our work has been recognised, we always remember and are very grateful to you, our clients and partners. This is because the trust you place in us is what inspires us to innovate and go the extra mile. Every time you present us with a challenge, this motivates us to exceed your expectations and bring you the best results.
