Litigation Funding

Burford is at the forefront of the transition of litigation funding in Australia from its historical roots in class actions to being used by businesses and law firms as "corporate finance for law”. Litigation funding is commonly used to remove the cost and risk of pursuing commercial litigation or arbitration. As users of legal finance become more sophisticated, they increasingly work with Burford to transform legal departments into profit centres and access more balance sheet capital for their business.
