In addition, Enrica Ghia, the new president of TMA Europe, said: "the main purpose of TMA Europe is to become the forum for interchange of ideas across Europe in connection with turnaround and restructuring matters, this publication and the London book launch event is a further example of our organisation's commitment to become a forum of innovation and progress in the law and practice of restructuring and turnaround in Europe".
