" Law firms seek to maximize opportunities"

João Vieira de Almeida, managing partner of VdA, quoted in the daily newspaper Diário Económico in an article on the effects of the bailout programme adjustments period on lawyers, bankers and consultants. The opinions of these different sectors are diverse, as for the lawyers "the economic activity is more relevant than the health of the economy, and despite the enormous social costs imposed on the country, in this case the adjustment programme generated significant work opportunities" states João Vieira de Almeida.
