Law firm appoints partner to litigation practice
International law firm Brown Rudnick LLP has recently announced the appointment of Ravi Nayer. He joins as a partner in the firm’s litigation and arbitration practice in London, after spending 6 years at Pinsent Masons.
Ravi's practice focuses on group litigation, acting on behalf of many of the UK’s largest financial services institutions such as asset managers, insurers and pension funds. His considerable experience includes creating joint defence and novel litigation cooperation agreements for peer institutions in some of the UK’s largest class actions. As well as advising on the merits and conduct of securities class actions and regulatory enforcement actions, Ravi advises on governance policies and procedures relating to bondholder litigation and securities class actions and related fiduciary duties.
Ravi also advises clients on the design and implementation of private-sector compensation schemes, arising from alleged mass torts, most recently for Manchester City Football Club and the UK construction industry relating to the alleged blacklisting of workers, as well as the first ICO-approved data compensation scheme. Ravi was recently seconded to a FTSE 100 asset manager and insurer as global head of disputes.
Neil Micklethwaite, Managing Partner of Brown Rudnick's London office, said: 'We are delighted to welcome Ravi to the firm. His extensive experience of group litigation and other collective redress mechanisms in the UK will be a tremendous asset to our clients globally'.
Ravi added: 'I am thrilled to be joining such an experienced and dynamic team of litigators. Brown Rudnick’s enviable track record of delivering success for clients involved in some of the most challenging financial and commercial disputes, is a testament to the intellect, creativity and determination at the heart of the firm’s culture.'
