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.
As part of our 10-year anniversary celebrations, we were lucky enough to spend some time together in Bath.
