Lawyer Rankings
Portugal > Dispute resolution
‘Highly regarded and internationally renowned’, PLMJ boasts a strong track record in high-profile litigation and arbitration cases in Portugal and Portuguese-speaking countries. Prominent in the automotive, financial services, telecoms and infrastructure sectors, the practice is a popular choice among leading corporations, institutional investors, non-profit organisations and public sector clients. The team is jointly led by Joaquim Shearman de Macedo, whose practice covers commercial and corporate litigation as well as construction and insurance disputes, arbitration expert Pedro Metello de Nápoles and Rita Samoreno Gomes, who is a key contact for antitrust and banking litigation. With over 30 years of experience handing insolvency and civil disputes, Nuno Líbano Monteiro is another key practitioner in the group. Also recommended are Pedro Caetano Nunes, and Carla Góis Coelho. The practice was boosted by the arrival of senior counsel Ricardo Silva Pereira, formerly at Linklaters, in May 2022 and senior associate Ana Raquel Frada from Cuatrecasas in September 2019, among others. Mariana França Gouveia is no longer at the firm.
