Today, 15 September, a group of new trainee lawyers starts work at PLMJ, continuing the sustained growth that PLMJ has enjoyed this year despite the crisis. We will welcome a team of 18 trainee lawyers, 15 for Lisbon, 2 for Porto and 1 for the Algarve. Most of these trainees have done summer internships at PLMJ so we can be confident that this new programme, set up in 2007, is bearing fruit and is already a success. The new PLMJ trainees have all been recruited from Portugal’s top law faculties at Universidade Clássica, Universidade Católica, Universidade Nova and Universidade de Coimbra.
