Investment Fund Disputes
We have particular depth in investment fund disputes, whether structured as companies, exempted limited partnerships or segregated portfolio companies.
Our work spans the full range of contentious fund matters, from investor redemption disputes and NAV challenges to fund governance conflicts and liquidator claims, frequently involving multi-billion-dollar assets and competing cross-border interests.
We also have significant experience in partnership dissolution disputes, breaches of fiduciary duty, profit-sharing disagreements and claims for mismanagement, with particular expertise in complex structures involving Cayman exempted limited partnerships. We combine deep knowledge of the relevant statutory frameworks with practical commercial judgement to resolve disputes efficiently, whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration or litigation.
