Aviva Will, President of Burford Capital, says: "Since our
founding, Burford has been committed to publishing insightful
thought leadership and research about commercial legal finance, and
the latest edition of The Burford Quarterly honors that
15-year tradition. In 2009, when Chris
Bogart and Jon Molot founded
Burford, they knew that legal finance could transform the business
of law and that educating business and legal leaders about our
industry would be key. This Quarterly brings together a
diverse range of expert viewpoints, including perspective on 15
years of legal finance research, the transformation in how large
corporations monetize patents, trends in Spain and Latin
America, and how to improve the lack of diversity in the
business of law. At Burford, we remain just as committed today as
we were 15 years ago in leading the charge on the industry's most
pressing issues."
