This was technically complex assignment where we assisted a Partner in a financial investment partnership to extricate herself from both her US partnership position and her UK employment status with the organisation. The stakes were very high; significantly in excess of US$10m. This required extensive liaison with and the co-ordination of the efforts of law firms in the US and UK, facilitating negotiations between our client and the managing partner of the firm. A negotiated settlement was agreed which included a US$350k uplift to the settlement amount with just 10 minutes to spare before the agreed ‘cut-off’ deadline.
