PLC

PLC Which lawyer?, law firm and lawyer recommendations are based on independent research conducted throughout the year. Their sources are:
  • Confidential feedback from clients, referral partners, and in-house counsel in around 5,600 companies
  • Interviews conducted, face to face, by telephone and in writing, by our editorial research team with private practice lawyers
  • Submissions received from law firms during the course of the practice area research.

The PLC Which lawyer? Yearbook includes a chart summarising the rankings of all law firms recommended in Portugal.

The chart covers all practice areas surveyed for Portugal, indicating whether each firm is ranked as leading, highly recommended, recommended or recognised (a new category) in each area. The individual subcategory recommendations are still available in the main text of the relevant country chapter.

The recommendations are based on independent research among corporate counsel and private practitioners.
