Article by José Pedro Fazenda Martins in the International Law Office

José Pedro Fazenda Martins, head of Capital Markets at VdA is the author of an article in the International Law Office publication concerning 'Related party transactions and shareholder approval'. "Related party transactions between public companies are common. However, by entering into such transactions, an entity could affect the balance sheet of another, making it incur losses or profits in such a manner that would be impossible in a transaction with independent third parties. These transactions are at a crossroads in terms of applicable rules" writes José Pedro Fazenda Martins in the article's synopsis.
