Vieira de Almeida & Associados (VdA)'s partner in charge of the Banking & Finance and Capital Markets areas of practice explains that, in his opinion, "there is a clear will to accelerate the companies' recovery proceedings, whenever that is possible, or to reduce obstacles to the voluntary debt restructuring".
