Morais Leitão has been recognised with a Gold ranking in the inaugural edition of Copyright 1000 – The World’s Leading Copyright Professionals, an international guide dedicated exclusively to copyright law.
At an individual level, Vasco Stilwell de Andrade was also recognised with a Gold ranking, while Ricardo do Nascimento Ferreira received a Silver ranking and Maria Almeida e Silva a Bronze ranking.
Copyright 1000 identifies leading firms and practitioners in the field of copyright across key jurisdictions worldwide, serving as a resource for businesses, creators, rights holders and counsel seeking specialist advice in this area.
In its analysis of the Portuguese market, the guide highlights the increasing internationalisation of the sector, driven by the growth of digital media, software and audiovisual production, as well as rising demand for advice on matters such as cross-border licensing, rights management and the commercial exploitation of content.
Copyright 1000 also points to the growing impact of artificial intelligence, which is raising new questions around ownership, licensing and the use of copyrighted works in AI systems.
