Financial innovation, new laws and regulations, and the financial meltdown of 2007–2008 are just a few of the forces that have shaped, and continue to shape, today's distress investment environment. Combine this with the fact that the discipline of distress investing doesn't always follow what conventional wisdom says, and you can see why it is one of the most challenging areas in finance. Nobody understands this better than Martin Whitman—the legendary founder of Third Avenue Management LLC and a pioneer in the field of distressed markets—and leading academic Dr. Fernando Diz of Syracuse University. That's why they decided to write Distress Investing. As an outgrowth of annual distres...
A legendary value investor on security analysis for a modern era This book outlines Whitman's approach to business and security analysis that departs from most conventional security analysts.

Diversamente do que sucede em tantos outros países da nossa família jurídica, os mecanismos de resolução alternativa de litígios jurídico-públicos estão, entre nós, afirmados. É certo que a arbitragem ainda suscita incertezas. Demos já conta disso em A Arbitragem Administrativa e Tributária, problemas e desafios, Almedina, 2012 (2.a ed.). Agora, impulsionados pelas alterações introduzidas ao CPTA, eis que nos voltamos para a mediação de conflitos jurídico-administrativos e jurídico-tributários. E ambicioso é o desafio dirigido aqui a todos, de pensar a questão do universo de litígios jurídico-públicos mediáveis, de refletir sobre os poderes do mediador e de equacionar os trâmites a seguir com vista a alcançar o acordo, dentro do processo, no âmbito da ação administrativa, ou antes e fora dele.
Mediation provides an attractive alternative to resolving disputes through court proceedings. Mediation promises just results in the interest of all parties concerned, a reduction of the court caseload, and cost savings for the parties involved as well as for the treasury.

Beyond Europe, many states have tried in recent years to answer the question whether, and if so, how mediation should be regulated at a national and international level. The aim of this book is to promote the understanding and discussion of regulatory issues by presenting comparative...
