Legal Executive Institute highlights Burford as a leader in the “booming” field of litigation finance. Senior MD Aviva Will explains the significant growth of legal finance: “The level of recognition by lawyers and corporate legal departments of what litigation finance is and how it works has risen dramatically… We’ve shifted from what you would call traditional litigation finance to what I would call corporate finance for law.” Will also reflects on her and Burford’s continued efforts to create opportunity for women in the legal space: “The ability for Burford… to help women generate new business for the firm and for themselves – that’s something that I’m particularly focused on.”
