Funds Disputes

When funds disputes arise, they are often complex and high value. You need advisers who understand the often highly technical and nuanced legislation in their jurisdictions inside out.

In volatile financial markets, investors wish to extract their investments from funds which are underperforming.

We have advised on disputes relating to failures by funds to operate their redemption mechanisms in accordance with agreed terms, as well as breach of contract claims, valuations disputes, minority shareholder issues and matters relating to insolvency.
