Operating as a full-service provider, the firm deploys capital across commercial litigation and intellectual property disputes, and is regularly instructed on significant claims by corporates, investors and other institutional clients. In the US, Andrew Cohen  leads commercial investments, while Katharine Wolanyk heads the intellectual property and patent litigation practice. Co-founders Christopher Bogart and Jonathan Molot continue to oversee the business, with Evan Meyerson focusing on US investment origination.
