As the market leader in commercial legal finance, Burford has institutionalized an industry that delivers real benefits to business and society.
When businesses are harmed by rule breaking and litigation or arbitration are the only means for them to be made whole, legal finance provides a means for them to recover lost value—without having to spend cash they could otherwise invest in delivering their products and services, hiring employees and other areas that are vital to growth.
Commercial legal finance benefits society by increasing access to justice and the rule of law, both fundamental social goods. The global economy and modern society need strong, clear and efficient legal systems to function. Our finance supports these systems by allocating capital to the most meritorious commercial legal matters.
Burford’s strong commitment to the values and principles of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors is inherent to our business, core to our culture and evident in our actions and priorities.
Additional ESG disclosures can be found on the Corporate Responsibility page of our investor relations website.
Our business is built on making smart decisions based on a diversity of inputs and ideas—and that requires a team and culture that welcome, value and reflect diversity in all forms. We recognize that we are a work in progress, and we commit to diversity, equity and inclusion in all that we do.
