In a ceremony held last night in London premier legal publishers Chambers and Partners announced the winners of the “Chambers Europe Awards for Excellence”.
Morais Leitão, Galvão Teles, Soares da Silva won the “Chambers Europe Award for Excellence in Portugal”.
 
This is the second time the firm has won this award in the last three years. The first time Chambers presented the award to a Portuguese law firm was in 2008 when Morais Leitão, Galvão Teles, Soares da Silva  won this prestigious award.
 
2010 has been an excellent year for the firm in terms of market distinctions.  Last  March the firm was distinguished by the International Financial Law Review with the “Portuguese Law Firm of the Year” award in the 2010 edition of the IFLR  Awards. For the sixth consecutive year the firm was shortlisted for this award. This is the fourth time the firm was the proud recipient of this distinction. Previously the firm won the award in 2005, 2007 and 2008.
 
During  yesterday’s ceremony Chambers rewarded outstanding firms on the basis of research carried out by  Chambers Europe  in 2009. The awards reflect not only a law firm’s pre-eminence in key practice areas; they also reflect notable achievements over the past 12 months for outstanding work, impressive strategic growth or excellence in client service.
 
Morais Leitão, Galvão Teles, Soares da Silva was represented by partners Nuno Galvão Teles and Luís Branco.
