Case Study: a private equity fund achieves favorable litigation outcomes with Montieth & Company

indicted private equity fund secures favorable settlements with Montieth & Company

The customer, an indicted private equity fund, faced a significant crisis following a federal indictment. The fund needed to quickly understand the legal implications for its investments and limited partners. It engaged Montieth & Company for its legal PR and crisis communications expertise to manage this challenge.

Montieth & Company leveraged its extensive experience with Department of Justice enforcement actions to rapidly craft an optimal communications and investor relations strategy. The solution involved close collaboration with the portfolio company's management and legal counsel to establish key facts. As a result, Montieth & Company effectively communicated that the fund was also a victim of the fraud, which addressed the law enforcement action and led to favorable settlements in the ensuing civil litigation.
