M&A disputes

The number of disputes arising in connection with restructurings, acquisition or divestments of businesses or parts of businesses (M&A disputes) is rising steadily. These disputes often involve very substantial amounts of money and are therefore of great importance to the implicated parties. We represent parties on either side of such disputes, which often concern warranty breaches, purchase price adjustments, and break fee agreements. 

For example, we have represented and are still representing:

• a number of large national and international private equity funds in arbitration proceedings over claims of warranty breaches in M&A transactions (2014-2021)
• several industrial buyers and sellers in arbitration proceedings over claims of warranty breaches (2014-2021).

We are also representing a large private equity fund in an M&A dispute pending before the Maritime and Commercial High Court (2021).
