Litigation funder appoints UK managing director

Specialist dispute resolution funding provider Vannin Capital has announced the appointment of Rosie Ioannou as UK regional managing director.

Rosie joined Vannin in 2014 as a managing director, and previously spent more than ten years with Allen & Overy. She is highly experienced in funding claims in areas such as insolvency, competition and UK group actions; in her new role, she will take on overall responsibility for Vannin’s UK business.

Rosie commented: ‘This is a really exciting time for Vannin as the London market for litigation funding continues to grow. The business is very well positioned to continue to diversify its portfolio and capitalise on the myriad opportunities that exist. I look forward to tackling this new challenge and helping to lead our talented UK team into the future.’

Vannin Capital’s CEO Richard Hextall also said: ‘Rosie has been fundamental to Vannin’s growth since joining the team in 2014, and her breadth of experience and reputation in the market is second to none. She is a natural choice to lead the UK team to the next stage of its growth, as we look to capitalise on the developing market in the UK and internationally.’
