Burford Capital is a worldwide leader in legal asset management and litigation finance. With a footprint in New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and Washington, Buford’s legacy is pegged to innovating law structures and philosophies.
The Buford Quarterly recently profiled thoughts and ideas focused on maximizing litigation finance portfolios. Buford’s Craig Batchelor directs the firm’s investment underwriting risk. Batchelor further outlines some strategies for accelerating legal capital via litigation funding.
Here are some key takeaways from Batchelor’s findings:
- Litigation finance portfolio management is not understood by most. Therefore, experts must teach and learn from global thought leaders on litigation finance portfolio management structures.
- Data should be engaged to assess how litigation assets may appreciate over time, via clever execution of portfolio planning.
- Prioritization of litigation assets is best focused on winning at the beginning, for exponential legacy portfolio returns.
- Mergers, acquisitions and competition based litigation funding is currently undervalued, according to Batchelor.
