Cases
SRP advises a private equity fund in three proceedings under the DIS Arbitration Rules, arising from fraudulent misrepresentation by the sellers in connection with the sale of a cybersecurity start-up.
- In the first arbitration, SRP secured an award ordering the sellers and the W&I insurers to pay approximately 30 million € in damages. The case was conducted under the DIS Rules for Expedited Proceedings and involved eight parties, three expert reports, and complex evidentiary issues.
- The two other DIS arbitration proceedings concern the sellers’ alleged claim for an additional purchase price and the remuneration of the founder, former managing director, and fraudulent co-seller of the target.
Former managing director in dispute concerning bonus payment and alleged competition law violations, amount in dispute approx. € 20 million
SRP represents a former managing director in claiming bonus payments against the parent company of the company formerly managed by him and defends him against alleged claims for damages based on alleged competition law violations. In particular:
- Claiming profit participation (including calculation of the enterprise value)
- Defending against claims for damages including links to white-collar crime
- Claiming payment from the D&O insurer
SRP advised a group of companies operating in the construction industry on the recission of a corporate transaction following fraudulent misrepresentation by the sellers.
Within less than two months of the fraud being uncovered, SRP secured notarization of the rescission and ensured the transfer of the first repayment installment of 10 million €. As part of the resolution, the seller committed to repaying the full purchase price.
