PLMJ’s robust dispute resolution team acts for a diverse roster of domestic and foreign clients, including public entities, non-profits and major companies from an array of sectors, including financial services, TMT and infrastructure, to name a few.

Joaquim Shearman de Macedo, who focuses on shareholder, construction and insurance disputes, oversees the practice alongside Pedro Metello de Nápoles, a key name for litigation and arbitration involving governmental bodies, and ‘standout litigator’ Rita Samoreno Gomes, who fields an established banking and financial litigation practice and also takes the lead on class actions.
