PLMJ is strengthening its presence in Mozambique with NMP Advogados

PLMJ will now advise its clients in Mozambique through PLMJ Colab Moçambique – NMP Advogados.

Founded by PLMJ lawyer Nuno Morgado Pereira, PLMJ Colab Moçambique – NMP Advogados is now part of PLMJ Colab, PLMJ's international network of offices focused on countries with cultural and strategic links to Portugal.

Based in Mozambique, PLMJ Colab Moçambique – NMP Advogados combines the services of a top-tier Portuguese firm with extensive local experience.

Until now, PLMJ had worked in partnership with TTA – Sociedade de Advogados, a local firm led by Tomás Timbane. The transition to PLMJ Colab Moçambique – NMP Advogados aims to increase the firm’s commitment to Mozambique, strengthen its links with PLMJ in Portugal and increase its involvement in the transactional segment.

Bruno Ferreira, PLMJ's managing partner, said: "With PLMJ Colab Moçambique – NMP Advogados, we are taking a step that we have long wanted to take in Mozambique. We are working with a firm that is both local and shares our approach to work in Portugal. This approach involves cultivating strong sector specialisation and in-depth legal knowledge in all areas of expertise. There is also an opportunity to grow the transactional segment, and the PLMJ Colab Moçambique – NMP Advogados model allows us to provide this type of legal support fully prepared. Clients in Mozambique, or those looking to do business there, will find a service combining the expertise of over 300 PLMJ lawyers with local knowledge."

Nuno Morgado Pereira, founder of PLMJ Colab Moçambique – NMP Advogados, said: “We are particularly well placed to advise Mozambican companies, as well as Mozambican and international investors who choose Mozambique as a place to grow their business. Our local presence ensures valuable proximity to our clients, and our affiliation with one of Portugal's most reputable and largest law firms enables us to deliver unparalleled services that align with the ambitions of our clients in Mozambique.”
