Vannin Capital

Significant strengthening of senior team

Vannin Capital, the specialist dispute resolution funding provider, has announced three senior appointments.

Former High Court Judge, Sir Stephen Silber, has joined Vannin as Chairman of the Investment Committee, together with international arbitration expert, Bernard Hanotiau. Both will assist in the review of potential and ongoing cases, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge relating to the judgement, arbitration and mediation of complex legal cases, which will prove invaluable to the group’s rigorous assessment process.

Additionally, Paul Morris has been appointed to the group’s Board as a non-executive director. Paul’s expertise in the legal sector, and especially litigation, will further strengthen Vannin’s board and complements its existing legal and commercial skill set.

Nick Verardi, director of Vannin says: “To have attracted three senior legal professionals of such eminence is testament to Vannin and the business which we have built since 2010. We have continued to strengthen our team in recent months and it now encompasses wide-ranging legal and commercial skills which we believe will enable us to fulfil our ambitious growth targets. I am delighted to welcome Stephen, Bernard and Paul to the team and I look forward to working with
them to drive future progress.”
