I work with law firms, counsel, insolvency practitioners and others on identifying contentious matters which may benefit from third-party funding. We fund legal fees and all other disbursements associated with litigation in exchange for a pre-agreed proportion of any damages received. If the case is unsuccessful, the risk is entirely ours and the claimant pays nothing. We fund a wide variety of cases both in the UK and globally. Please get in touch if you would like to know more, or to discuss our potentially funding a case for you or your clients.We also fund portfolios of cases, we fund law firms offering clients CFAs and DBAs, we can monetise judgments and ongoing cases, and we also provide loans to law firms who want external finance to help them deliver growth plans.

Worked with a set recognised for 30 years as a buoyant and cutting-edge group of lawyers with a national and international profile for excellence in criminal law, civil law, administrative and public law, international law and human rights.I had responsibility for developing new client relationships with solicitors in private practice, lawyers working in-house in the financial services and other industries, and accountants or other professional intermediaries. In addition, I advised on enquiries from directors and officers of companies, insurers and individuals who wished to instruct our barristers directly without the assistance of a solicitor. "The 'extremely helpful' business development director Maurice MacSweeney attracts high praise from sources. One commentator states: 'Maurice is very business-minded, and I think he's a massive credit to Doughty Street.'" - Chambers & Partners

Worked with one of the UK’s leading chambers specialising in criminal and regulatory law. I had particular responsibility for the development of our professional regulation work, with other projects including fraud and white collar crime, gaming and licensing, and other areas of regulatory law. In addition I led on our marketing, events and online presence.
