PLMJ Launches its Investment Guide For 2009 And 2010

Throughout its more than forty years of existence, PLMJ has been involved in countless investment projects in Portugal - from industry to commerce, services to agriculture, leveraged equity processes to complex project finance contracts from the internal growth of the national business framework to directly attracting foreign investment, from setting up a simple branch to negotiating huge investment contracts involving financial, tax and other incentives.

At each and every moment PLMJ has been at its Clients’ side providing the necessary support to each step of the way.

The purpose of this Investment Guide is to share part of this experience, showing that Portugal has the necessary competitive conditions, technological, labour, infrastructure, logistics, geographical, legal and tax, to continue to attract large investment projects.

Showing that there is no reason why we should assume that Portugal is inevitably less attractive to foreign investors, and that foreign investment is a must and simultaneously a challenge to all of us. Above all, showing that PLMJ will always be the pioneering, efficient and increasingly specialized Law Firm that takes very seriously its professional responsibilities as the “partner of excellence” for its Clients.

This guide will be the first of a series of Investment Guides that will cover the main markets in which PLMJ operates – Portugal, Angola and Brazil, initially, Macao and South China, Central and Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean Arab Countries at a later stage.

Our intention in putting these guides together is the same as ever – to serve our clients and support the international expansion of national businesses, proving distinctive legal services of high added value.
