The excellence of the legal services provided by PLMJ in the main operations that marked 2012 has received international recognition.
The law firm PLMJ is back in the race for the award Best Portuguese Law Firm, given by the most prestigious international directory Chambers and Partners, a distinction that PLMJ has already won in 2012 and 2009. The Chambers Europe Awards for Excellence recognise the firms that, every year, stand out for the excellence of their corporate and commercial legal services.
These awards also give value to the capacity to innovate in providing services to the client. Once again, PLMJ goes straight onto the shortlist for this award and this is a great source of pride for us. It is also a public and international recognition of the great work and dedication to the clients and projects that marked our work in 2012. Despite the difficulties and challenges, 2012 was a year of intense activity for the lawyers of PLMJ, who were called upon to play a role in practically every one of the most important case in a wide range of areas of specialisation. This is also a signal of the success of our strategy of specialisation growth and internationalisation.
2012 was also a year marked by PLMJ confirming its international position and strategy of internationalisation with PLMJ International Legal Network. It was also a year in which PLMJ received the Chambers award of Best Firm of the Year and the Best Iberian Firm of the Year given by The Lawyer. PLMJ was also honoured by the Financial Times as one of the 50 most innovative law firms in Europe.
