    New edition of The Burford Quarterly explores how GCs, law firm leaders and private equity professionals are using finance tools to manage high-stakes litigation

    NEW YORK, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Burford Capital, the leading global finance and asset management firm focused on law, today releases its latest Burford Quarterly, a journal of legal finance that explores the top trends at the nexus of law and finance. As legal finance continues to be used as a transformative resource for both corporations and law firms, this edition provides data, analysis and expert commentary on industry developments.

    In this edition, leading law firm attorneys explain how legal finance is reshaping traditional contingency fee models, patent lawyers discuss the first year of data from the United Patent Court (UPC) and Burford experts present new data-driven findings on the enforcement of judgments, as well as a timely analysis of the synergies between private equity and legal finance.

    Articles in the Burford Quarterly No.2 2025 include:

    • Contingency fee practices in the US: Insights from top litigators

      A discussion among US trial lawyers on the evolving use of contingency fee arrangements. The roundtable explores the advantages and challenges of contingency models, the impact of AI and legal tech and how legal finance increasingly complements traditional contingency structures.

    • The UPC in focus: Patent lawyers on the first year of data

      Leading patent lawyers dissect the first year of data from the UPC, analyzing the most impactful rulings to date, lessons learned and future expected trends.

    • Enforcement in arbitrations against sovereigns: What the data tell us

      Sovereign arbitration awards often face unique enforcement challenges. This article examines empirical data on enforcement outcomes and the role legal finance plays in helping claimants enforce and monetize awards.

    • Private equity and legal finance: A strategic partnership

      Portfolio companies may have significant value locked in disputes that could generate cash and enhance equity value when an exit strategy is sought. 

    • Five years of WAMCA (Dutch Act on the Resolution of Mass Damages in Collective Action) claims: Trends and takeaways

      A look at the first five years of the Netherlands’ WAMCA regime, analyzing key trends in collective actions and the role of legal finance in supporting large-scale claims.

    “With every edition, the Burford Quarterly aims to provide a lens into how legal finance is shaping the business of law,” said David Perla, Vice Chair of Burford Capital. “This issue combines robust data with real-world outcomes to illustrate how legal finance has become a sophisticated financial strategy for optimizing cash flow, managing legal risk and unlocking capital across geographies and sectors. By combining data with expert commentary and case-specific insights, we demonstrate the tangible impact legal finance has on today’s most sophisticated legal and business decisions.”
