What Burford Capital Ltd does
Introduction Burford is the world’s largest dedicated provider of capital, based on portfolio size, against the underlying value of litigation and legal assets, which we colloquially call legal finance. We are a global firm that serves the legal industry by providing an array of financial products and services. Our largest business is providing capital to clients engaged in ongoing legal disputes, which they can use both to pay the legal fees and expenses associated with disputes and to monetize the expected future value of disputes. Our focus is on large, complex disputes, not on small-scale litigation typically pursued by consumers or small businesses. We rarely engage in transactions in which we are providing less than $5.0 million in capital, and we frequently provide multiples of that amount up to hundreds of millions of dollars.
