Our private equity litigation team has extensive experience of working with private investment funds (including private equity, venture capital and real estate funds) to resolve their disputes quickly and discreetly.

We are revered for working with our private equity clients to achieve their strategic goals, by drawing on our deep knowledge and understanding of their business needs. Our reputation for creative solutions to our clients’ unique legal and business challenges is hard earned and means that our private equity lawyers are in demand.

We are well positioned to counsel our clients on litigation risk and avoidance and, when necessary, to represent their interests in Court or ADR.

Our areas of focus include:

  • breaches of fiduciary duties
  • transaction disputes
  • shareholder disputes
  • breach of contract
  • employment
  • corporate governance
  • valuation disputes
  • fraud (Ponzi schemes, misrepresentations, clawbacks)
  • third-party litigation.
