Family litigation funder appoints non-executive director

Family litigation funding specialist Level has appointed Neil Purslow as a non-executive director.

Litigation funding expert Neil is co-founder and chief investment officer of litigation and arbitration funding provider Therium. He is also a board member of the Association of Litigation Funders. Level now works with more than 75 law firms on family litigation cases, and is expanding into other areas of law including probate matters.

George Williamson, co-founder and managing director of Level, commented: ‘It is a coup to have Neil on-board as we enter our next phase of growth which involves funding probate cases too. His vast experience will help us develop and expand our offering and ensure we stay one step ahead of the competition.’

Neil added: ‘Level has made a real impact on the market. There is a huge opportunity for the business to continue to disrupt and apply its philosophy to new areas of funding.’
