Continuation Deals: A New Frontier for Disputes in Sponsor-Backed M&A?

Registration for this event will open shortly.

Continuation deals have become one of the most significant structural innovations in private equity over the last decade. By rolling assets into new fund structures rather than exiting, these deals offer sponsors and existing investors flexibility and the opportunity to capture further upside. But they also create a complex web of actual and potential conflicts — between the sponsor and its existing investor base, between rolling and exiting investors, and around the valuation of assets being transferred.

As the continuation deal market increases in size and importance, so do the potential litigation risks. This panel will therefore bring together leading members of Quinn Emanuel’s private equity disputes practice, a leading silk in private equity disputes, and a partner at leading Italian firm Carbonetti e Associati to examine this emerging potential field of disputes from multiple perspectives.
