Press Release

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.

In addition to these 18 new trainees, PLMJ’s team of lawyers has been strengthened in September by the recruitment of the following new lawyers joining PLMJ from other institutions:

Miguel Spínola – comes from a period in business in Mozambique to join PLMJ’s Mozambique Partnership Team;

António Júdice Moreira – comes from Garrigues to become part of PLMJ’s Litigation Practice Area;

Marta Machado de Almeida – comes from Deloitte to become part of PLMJ’s Tax Practice Area;

Bruno Mestre – having completed his PhD in Law at the European University Institute joins the Employment Practice Area.
