Professional excellence, ongoing professional training and academic development, together with an excellent working environment have always been the core values here at PLMJ.

We know that it is essential to be familiar with the specific needs of our clients in order to provide the best and most effective solution.

While we continue to value our long established professional relationships with major law firms worldwide, we are determined to remain an independent law firm.

Our international expansion has focused mainly on Portuguese-speaking countries with which Portugal has traditionally enjoyed strong cultural and economic ties.

The firm has close links with the Portuguese Law Academy and law schools and it participates in the regulation of legal practice. It has a history of having strong representatives on the general council of the Portuguese Bar Association and one of our senior partners was President of the Bar from 2001-2004.

PLMJ has an active policy of providing “pro bono” legal services.

The support that PLMJ affords to contemporary Portuguese art, through the PLMJ Foundation, has been widely recognised. The Foundation is a key player on the national scene in publicising and promoting the work of young Portuguese artists
