The Commercial Litigation Association (CLA) has announced the appointment of Nick Rowles Davies as its chairman.

The former director of the Association of Litigation Funders of England & Wales, Nick currently serves as executive vice chairman of Litigation Capital Management, and is also the founder and CEO of Chancery Capital. He has been involved in the litigation finance and legal expenses insurance industries since 1999.

Nick commented: ‘I am delighted to be involved in the CLA at such an exciting stage of its growth and I strongly identify with the association’s core values. The commercial litigation landscape is undergoing significant change and it’s great to be at the forefront of that change.’

Lord Neuberger, former president of the Supreme Court who joined the CLA as patron in January, added: ‘The United Kingdom has an enviable international reputation for its commercial law and its commercial solicitors, barristers, judges and arbitrators. The quality and diverse nature of the legal professionals involved in the Commercial Litigation Association will help to ensure that we maintain, indeed enhance our high standards and international reputation.’
