FCLaw participated in the 1st Macau Lawyers’ Congress, with our lawyers Anabela Lei Hoi Chi and Julio Anjos acting as speakers in the Panel destined to the “Protection of Rights”.

The Congress had been held in September 20-21, 2019 under the main theme “The Advocacy in the 20th Anniversary of the Macau SAR: Reflection on the Future,” and was attended by lawyers, magistrates, academics, Government legal advisors and overseas legal experts.

Our lawyers Anabela Lei Hoi Chi and Julio Anjos played a major role by presenting a speech in which they pointed out a few issues that have been arising from the judicial practice and that have been prejudicial to the rights of the victims in criminal proceedings. The speech aimed to propose a solution to those questions in order to achieve a fairer legal system for better protection of people’s rights.

Our partner Jorge Menezes, lawyer Paulo Cordeiro and trainee lawyers Jasmine Ka Hei Ng, Kuok Ka Man and Rafael Lai also attended the Congress, with Jorge Menezes having made some pertinent comments throughout the panel discussion.
