Two members of Bentham IMF's team have been recognized in US
legal media company Lawdragon's 2019 guide to the 100 Leading
Legal Consultants and Strategists.
Andrew Saker, global Managing Director and Chief Executive
Officer of Bentham IMF's parent company, IMF Bentham Limited
(ASX: IMF), and
Allison Chock, Chief Investment Officer-US of Bentham IMF, are
featured in the 2019 guide. This is the fourth consecutive year
that Bentham has been featured.
IMF Bentham pioneered dispute finance in Australia in 2001. US
operations commenced in 2011, and we opened our first Canadian
office in 2016. During this time, we have educated the legal
community and shaped the evolution of the dispute finance industry
from its infancy to what it is today. The recognition from
Lawdragon reflects our experience, the strong relationships Bentham
has built the across the global legal community, and that we are
now a preferred funder for many leading law firms. Bentham is one
of the leading funders in the world, which is borne out in our
track record: we have achieved a 90% success rate over 18
years.
Lawdragon is a leading U.S. provider of free online news and editorial features, including its guides to America's leading lawyers and other specialty guides. According to Lawdragon, "we are in the age of litigation finance" and its 2019 guide lists those financiers and other legal consultants and strategists such as marketing and communication gurus on whom the legal profession relies.
