Addleshaw Goddard: litigation finance

Addleshaw Goddard has launched a litigation finance product, Control, that provides specialist advice to corporates, third party funders and other law firms on single case and portfolio funding arrangements

Mark Molyneux, Addleshaw’s head of litigation, said the launch meant the firm could provide a ‘fully rounded approach’.

‘As pioneers of litigation financing, we saw that the market needed a new, 360º approach―advisors who can draw together their knowledge of litigation, finance and funding markets, commercial terms, professional practices and regulatory requirements on an international scale,’ he said.
