PLMJ's projects and energy team stands by the side of investors in designing and implementing major investment projects, and it has a special focus on the energy sector. Our clients choose us for our in-depth knowledge of the various sectors in which we operate. This enables us to provide regulatory support in the implementation of each project.
We create multidisciplinary teams rise to any challenge, so our clients can rely on legal advice that combines specific legal knowledge of each dimension of the project.
We implement and provide ongoing support for the main infrastructure and energy projects in Portugal, advising both promoters and financing entities. Our experience also includes advising on international projects to structure and implement infrastructure, energy, mining, and industrial projects in countries where the official language is Portuguese, in particular, Angola and Mozambique.
Our team has an integrated vision of each industry and project, particularly in areas such as public law, the environment, finance, tax, employment and labour, and restructuring.
In the area of energy projects, with a special focus on renewable energies, our in-depth knowledge of the applicable legal and regulatory framework has enabled us to advise on some of the key renewable energy projects in Portugal, particularly solar energy, and energy transport infrastructures.
In the transport infrastructure segment, we have advised promoters, bank syndicates and investment funds in the phase of setting up and structuring projects. We have also advised on syndication and debt restructuring operations. Besides this, our team has handled step-in operations in innovative public-private partnerships in Portugal.
Os nossos advogados têm estado envolvidos numa vasta gama de serviços jurídicos focados em questões ambientais e climáticas de clientes nacionais e internacionais, e de várias indústrias e setores de atividade.
Dominamos o complexo cenário regulatório aplicável às mudanças climáticas, promovendo práticas sustentáveis e assessorando grandes clientes nacionais e estrangeiros a vários níveis, seja em matéria de conformidade regulatória, seja aconselhando em transações e projetos sustentáveis, como as energias renováveis, as infraestruturas sustentáveis, os acordos de financiamento “verde” (como os green bonds) ou mesmo em ativos ambientais (como os créditos de carbono).
Representamos os clientes nacionais e estrangeiros em qualquer litígio, seja no foro judicial ou arbitral, em matérias relacionados com violações ambientais e regulatórias.
