‘Known in the national legal scene for the quality of its team’, PLMJ assists with urban and territorial planning across the energy, real estate and tourism sectors in Portugal and Lusophone Africa. The practice is led by Andreia Candeias Mousinho, who ’stands out for her in-depth knowledge of urban planning law’, and is skilled in handling licensing issues, regulatory disputes and due diligence procedures. Following the July 2023 integration of the eponymous firm, Sofia Galvão, a leading authority in planning law, bolstered the team with her wealth of experience in tourism, construction, and public procurement mandates. Luís Moitinho de Almeida made the move as well, showcasing skill in planning, real estate, construction energy and environmental matters. Benedita Lacerda focuses on administrative law and the planning of major tourism development, while Micaela Giestas Salvador advises on a range of real estate development projects.
