MLGTS Number 2 in Top 10 Most Innovative European Firms (Financial Times awards) and the only Portuguese Firm in the Rankings

Morais Leitão, Galvão Teles, Soares da Silva (MLGTS) succeeds as the most recognized Portuguese firm for the prestigious Financial Times "Innovative Lawyers" award, achieving through these rankings second place in the "Top 10 of European Law Firms" (outside the UK). The firm was commended in five distinct areas.
 
Team Genesis - created to advise start-ups and SMEs and to advise business angels and institutional venture partners - is responsible for two major ratings where MLGTS is the only Portuguese law firm considered. One in which the team defines its partnership with an innovative technological project, "Legal Flow"- a legal service management software - and another ranking Team Genesis in the category of "business development and growth" given that it has been regarded as an innovative team in providing legal services.
 
Accolades didn’t stop there, because MLGTS is also the only Portuguese law firm  in the "corporate and commercial" category having provided successful legal advice to one of the largest national contractors. Finally, in the area of litigation (namely "dispute resolution") MLGTS is again the only firm in Portugal to receive the jury's attention because of  its advice to a mobile operator in a court case on a single issue related to data protection at the European level.
 
It is also the sole Portuguese firm in the "technology" category with its innovative support portal to business development and customer support that has been implemented internally.

Managing partner, Nuno Galvão Teles states that "these distinctions are reflected in MLGTS's leadership claim as the most distinguished Portuguese law firm in all rankings that make up the Financial Times' 'Innovative Lawyers' and substantiate this second place as Number 2 in the Top 10 of the European law firms (outside the UK)."
