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. The team earns praise for its ability to ‘combine extensive experience in litigation at a national level with a good knowledge of the issues associated with European litigation cases’; its wide-ranging expertise also covers domestic and international arbitration proceedings. With over 30 years’ experience in civil litigation and corporate matters, Nuno Líbano Monteiro
is a reference in the market. 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. Pedro Caetano Nunes and Carla Góis Coelho are noted for their strong performance in civil, commercial and corporate disputes.
