PLMJ has brought together in a single team a group of lawyers dedicated to issues related to the sectors of telecommunications, media and technology (TMT). This team puts us in the perfect position to take an integrated approach to these issues and this enables us to bring added quality to the services we provide to our clients.

The PLMJ lawyers who make up this team have extensive and widely recognised experience in providing legal advice to companies, operators and investors from the telecommunications, media and technology sectors, both in Portugal and internationally. This advice covers areas ranging from regulation of electronic communication, television and social communication and the acquisition and licensing of software to e-commerce, data protection, supply of hardware, outsourcing of IT systems and electronic signatures.

The TMT practice area also guarantees a close working relationship with our intellectual property team. This team has received well-deserved recognition both in Portugal and on an international level and its work alongside the TMT practice area enables us to provide a response to the increasing number of challenges that are arising in the areas of protection of intellectual property rights in connection with new information and communication technology.

The legal skills that have been acquired by the members of this team mean that we can provide high quality legal support for the sectors in which technology and information systems now play an increasingly important role. These sectors include life sciences, biotechnology, biomedicine, and nanotechnology.
