Trabalhamos com a missão de apoiar as empresas no propósito de serem empregadores de referência no mercado nacional e internacional.

Os nossos advogados de direito do trabalho estão vocacionados para a assessoria jurídica a empresas, englobando o conjunto das áreas mais críticas, nomeadamente relações coletivas de trabalho, compensation & benefits, restruturações, contencioso laboral, investigações disciplinares e transações.

Porque mantemos relações duradouras com os nossos clientes, temos um profundo conhecimento das suas organizações, dos setores em que atuam e desafios que enfrentam. Este posicionamento permite-nos uma assessoria estratégica proativa e que atua de modo preventivo e mitigador de impactos negativos na atividade e potenciador de crescimento sustentável.

Assessoramos restruturações de larga escala com conhecimento profundo nos principais setores de atividade, incluindo o setor financeiro, bancário, retalho, tecnológico, automóvel, serviços e outros.
Apoiamos as grandes transações que acontecem no mercado português, montando equipas multidisciplinares, à medida do desafio específico de cada cliente.

Temos uma vasta experiência em processos de auditoria em matéria de compliance e aconselhamos na estruturação e implementação de estratégias de redução de custos, governança de compensation & benefits, bem como aspetos de segurança social.

Estamos envolvidos e apoiamos as empresas nas relações coletivas de trabalho, principalmente nas relações com estruturas representativas de trabalhadores: fruto da nossa abordagem estratégica, conseguimos acordos que atuam como fatores de desenvolvimento das empresas.

Acompanhamos processos de contencioso laboral de elevada complexidade, onde definimos com o cliente os objetivos que se pretendem alcançar e a estratégia a seguir e, mais importante, sabemos montar respostas que estão alinhadas com o perfil de risco de cada cliente.

Acompanhamos processos de investigação disciplinar de elevada sensibilidade, assegurando um desfecho rápido e alinhado com as expectativas do cliente, tanto nos resultados como na gestão do processo.

The thing I like most about PLMJ is their ability to always provide the best advice, independently of our wishes. With their knowledge of the market, they are able to provide the best legal advice. I like that about them because it is very easy to make the client happy when you are telling what they want to hear but they make us satisfied by telling us what they really think is the best for us. I would also highlight the great and robust team with senior and junior members, who work very well together. Their response time is always adequate to our need and expectations and there is nothing for them to improve. They represent good value for money.

Diogo Duarte de Campos is an exceptional lawyer focused on problem-solving, with a solid theoretical foundation and the highest ethical standards. Always available and quick to react, even on urgent matters. Clear and practical explanations, proactive and reliable advice, and a collaborative approach that inspires trust.

José Pedro Anacoreta is more than a competent lawyer who limits himself to providing legal solutions to requests for help. He is truly a strategic ally who participates in key management decisions. He is someone who has a holistic understanding of the business, continuously challenges us to take innovative initiatives, supports us in managing change and advises us on topics that go far beyond what is strictly legal."
