Debevoise & Plimpton LLP

Debevoise & Plimpton combines transactional and disputes work for businesses, financial institutions and investment firms. Private equity and insurance are recurring subjects in its published practice material, alongside litigation and arbitration. Those areas can intersect when a transaction involves a regulated business or when an investment leads to a dispute.

The firm's Private Equity Report illustrates that connection. Its analysis covers both the commercial structure of investments and questions such as the choice between litigation and arbitration when negotiating transaction documents. This connects drafting and deal planning with the practical consequences of a later disagreement.

Debevoise also publishes analysis of the regulation of private-equity ownership in the insurance industry. That work brings together investment, insurance and regulatory questions rather than treating them as unrelated specialties. The resulting profile is a practice where corporate activity, financial regulation and contentious matters frequently inform one another. Individual practice materials provide the clearest guide to the industries and types of matters handled by a particular team.
