Greg McPolin, Managing Director and Kanika Shah, Director at Burford Capital, will speak on “Innovative Financing Strategies: Turning Your Legal Department from Cost Center to Revenue Generator” during the GC Midwest Summit hosted by ALM. The session will take place on April 14 at 12:45pm CDT in Chicago.

As legal departments face increasing pressure to deliver results with constrained budgets, many GCs are rethinking how they approach disputes and untapped claims. Rather than viewing litigation solely as a cost center, forward-looking legal leaders are adopting proactive strategies to identify, manage, and potentially monetize high-value legal assets.

This live, interactive roundtable discussion will bring together an intimate group of in-house leaders for a candid exchange of perspectives and practical experience. We’ll explore how legal departments are using legal finance and other innovative funding structures to move costs off the balance sheet, manage risk, and accelerate access to capital. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, share insights, and discuss how companies can pursue strong claims without diverting operating budget, unlock value tied up in legal matters, and position the legal function as a driver of financial and strategic impact for the broader business.
