Burford draws from a wide range of expertise to deliver sharper perspectives.
Lawyers trust Burford as the world’s most experienced, transparent and well-capitalized litigation finance provider. Burford does much more: we serve the broad capital needs of the legal sector.
London Stock Exchange-traded and well past the billion-dollar mark, with over 65 people in the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific and clients around the world, Burford pioneered institutional-quality commercial litigation finance.
CEO Christopher Bogart and CIO Jonathan Molot founded Burford in 2009 to provide much-needed solutions for companies and law firms. As Time Warner’s former general counsel, Bogart had crafted the $35 million fee paid to Cravath for its work on the AOL/Time Warner merger—then the largest corporate contingency fee in history. He later ran an investment firm, and as a side project created a financing solution for Latham & Watkins’ arbitration practice. As a professor at the Georgetown University Law Center, Molot had investigated market solutions to address the impact of unequal financial resources on litigation outcomes. Molot opened a consultancy focused on insurance-based litigation risk transfer used by the largest insurers in the world.
Burford is the gold standard in the field.
