Lawdragon, a provider of free online guides for US-based legal news, has named IMF Bentham CEO Andrew Saker and Bentham IMF (the US subsidiary of IMF Bentham) CIO Allison Chock as two of its 100 Leading Legal Consultants and Strategists.
As reported in Lawdragon, IMF Bentham has been featured in the online guide each of the last four consecutive years. The funder maintains 14 offices across Australia, Asia, Canada, the UK and the US, and manages billions of dollars of AUM.
Having helped pioneer litigation funding in Australia in 2001, IMF Bentham expanded into the US a decade later, and now boasts multiple offices across the country and in Canada. The funder is also one of just a handful of industry participants that is publicly-traded.
In his interview with Lawdragon, Saker highlighted IMFs capital resources, strategic case insights and assistance with project execution as its core differentiators. He also highlighted the experienced former litigators and in-house counsel who serve as employees of the firm.
Over an 18 year lifespan, IMF boasts a 90% success rate in the claims it finances. According to Saker, IMF clients have retained an average rate of 62% of all proceeds.
