PLMJ - Rita Alarcão Júdice chosen by “The Times” as Future Star of Europe

In order to balance a thriving real estate practice with the rigours of looking after her two young children, Rita Alarcão Júdice, a senior associate in the Lisbon office of PLMJ, has to be supremely well organised. “Having two kids has made me a very efficient worker. I don’t waste time,” says the 33-year old. After graduating first in her class from the Portuguese Catholic University Law School, Júdice, born in Coimbra, trained with PLMJ, qualifying into its property team in 2000. Her work involves a mixture of providing advice to international institutional investors such as Credit Suisse Asset Management and the Blackstone Group on real estate fund transactions, and assisting local organisations with tourism-related projects. She is currently acting for a Portuguese company in its development of a luxury resort in Madeira and advising on the construction of two hotels in the Oporto area. Júdice was part of the PLMJ team that earlier this year handled Portugal’s first ever Sharia-compliant real estate transaction.
