The lawyers are fluent in German and Portuguese and are fully prepared to provide to provide legal support for companies from Germany and from central and Central and Eastern Europe, whether in Portugal or in the countries where PLMJ acts such as Angola, Mozambique, Brazil, Macau and China, through PLMJ International legal Network,
offering high quality German-language legal services across the different legal systems. The considerable increase in the need for legal advice by Portuguese companies operating in the German market and in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and in companies from these countries investing in Portugal has resulted in a
growing demand for legal support in preparing contracts, in the routine activities of companies, in performing obligations and in debt recovery.
Whenever necessary, this support includes support from other practice areas of the firm, whether at its Portuguese offices in Lisbon, Oporto and Faro, or at the partners who make up
PLMJ International Legal Network, in Angola, Mozambique, Brazil, Macao and China. PLMJ also maintains relations with law firms in Germany and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which enable it to provide support to Portuguese companies that operate in these markets.
