- Burford Capital is miles ahead of the other funders when it comes to asset recovery. Unlike the majority of funders, they are willing to look at more complex cases where asset recovery is the focus, and they have a really sophisticated team that knows how to deal with these cases. Unlike others, they can do asset recovery in-house, and their legal team is second to none. They have real depth of understanding, and working with them is a real pleasure. They are senior-led, and they mean business. Again, unlike their competitors, their work is global - they would be my first port of call for any sophisticated cross-border asset recovery that needed funding.
- Tom Brown is an outstanding in-house lawyer, with an exceptional understanding of the asset recovery work that Burford is involved in - working with him feels less like advising a client and more like teamwork where he and his team contribute as much as the external lawyers. It's a pleasure working with someone who is so sophisticated, diligent, and also a really nice person to work with. Hannah Howlett in Burford's Dubai office is a very impressive lawyer and person, and I look forward to seeing what she achieves for Burford in Dubai, which is becoming a new hub of asset recovery.
