Peter Singfield
Work Department
Dispute Resolution | Private Equity
Position
Pete is a partner in our Dispute Resolution team. He has significant experience advising established, national and international Media and Retail clients about a range of operational issues including contractual matters relating to distribution and supply and contentious data and Intellectual Property, as well as advising both funds and Private Equity owned portfolio companies about matters relating to their growth including shareholder issues and dispute adjacent to share or asset purchases such as warranty claims and deferred consideration.
Pete’s recent career highlight came when he supported Guernsey lead counsel in a dispute for hundreds of millions of pounds relating to unfair prejudice petition brought by minority PE shareholders in an entity behind successful exchange traded funds.
Pete strives to build relationships with clients that allow him to deliver bespoke solutions that achieve the desired outcome, rather than a ‘pre-packaged’ approach.
