Balance Legal Capital has been ranked for the third year running by Chambers and Partners UK and now also in Chambers and Partners APAC. Robert Rothkopf and Simon Burnett also received personal rankings. Thank you to everyone for the kind words and recognition.
As quoted in the Chambers guide, one market source said “My experience dealing with them has been seamless so far. You get a whole different range of funders, and Balance are very much at the professional end. They take a much more reasonable approach to the client and are easy to deal with when advising. Right at the top end of the market – they’re very rigorous with their analysis of matters.”
On Robert Rothkopf one market source says: “I think the one thing that really marks him out is responsiveness, he’s always on hand. Very bright, he picks up all the issues and asks all the right questions.”
On Simon Burnett “He is a prominent fixture in the class action space, taking on challenging and innovative cases”.
We are delighted to announce that Will Rowlands has been promoted to Finance Manager. This well‑deserved achievement reflects Will’s continued dedication and contribution to Balance over the past several years.
The Balance Australia team are also excited to welcome Will on secondment to our Sydney office.
We are pleased to announce that Robert Rothkopf has been appointed as a Director of the International Legal Finance Association (ILFA).
ILFA plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of legal finance globally and promoting best practices across jurisdictions. Robert will bring Balance’s experience and voice to ILFA’s mission, ensuring that the benefits of litigation finance are properly understood.
This board role adds to Balance’s leading contribution and involvement with the ILFA in the UK with Oliver Hayes in London, and in Australia with Simon Burnett in Sydney.
Topics covered ASIC and the private credit markets including the recent collapse of First Guardian, Shield and Australian Fiduciaries; what to expect from changes to Australia’s climate disclosure regime; and a discussion unpacking the Australian class action market, including insights on how funders raise and deploy capital and emerging trends in class actions.
The session brought together leading voices in the industry Sarah Johnson from The D.E. Shaw Group, Robert Marven KC, Susan Dunn from Harbour, and Nicholas Marler from Litica, expertly moderated by Elena Rey from Brown Rudnick LLP.
Two wonderful celebrations of Balance’s 10-year anniversary, one in Sydney at the Museum of Contemporary Art and another in London at the Tate Modern.
