Over the years the investment funds sector in Portugal has become increasingly more sophisticated due to the acknowledged dynamics and marked professionalism of those operating in the national market. PLMJ’s practice in this growing and strictly-regulated specialisation has kept pace with its clients’ requirements. The work of PLMJ lawyers of recognised experience in the various aspects of regulation of these financial instruments has been based on providing assistance to securities and real estate investment fund management companies, both in designing and setting up investment fund creation processes and in the day-to-day assistance with the various regulatory aspects that arise in the course of their running. With regard to real estate investment funds in particular, PLMJ has wide experience in setting up and contractualising all the legal instruments necessary for the acquisition and sale of these assets as well as making them viable earning instruments. In parallel with the assistance provided to the various national market operators, PLMJ has advised foreign clients on marketing their investment funds in Portugal, particularly concerning the processes with Portuguese supervisory and placement bodies. “Leading the way in this evolutionary process is PLMJ, the country’s largest law firm and one of the first to pioneer modern legal techniques.”
