Both law firms were awarded as “Team of the Year”, along with teams from Germany, France and Italy.
Motivations of the winners were:
“Uría Menéndez maintains an impeccable communication and marketing strategy that prioritises attention to media and information on the firm’s events through the different available channels, including social media, in addition to other marketing and/or promotional activities. Dionisio Uría leads the team assisted by Pilar Igartua and Javier Cantavella. In the last year, the best Marketing & Communication team in Spain.”
“PLMJ is one of the big three law firms in Portugal, and it befits them to possess one of the more stellar Communication and Business Development areas in the market. When it comes to Business Development, PLMJ is not afraid to make big bets on talent, and back in 2016, hired Daniela Amaral from Freshfields. The area has provided vital support on strategy, client retention and new client generation for the firm. PLMJ experienced a number of significant changes in recent years, with new leadership, but also went through a re-branding exercise in 2019, which has received critical acclaim. Alexandra Ferreira currently leads the Communication team.”
