New York, October 11, 2023 – 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 impacting the business of law.

The latest issue of the Burford Quarterly 4 2023 includes:

 

  • Data analytics and litigation: How Artificial Intelligence (AI) will (and won’t) change the economics of law

    Key takeaways from a recent discussion with leading players in integrated data analytics and AI, moderated by Co-COO David Perla.

  • Macroeconomic trends affect how GCs think about dispute costs and risk

    Burford Co-COO Aviva Will analyzes key considerations top in-house lawyers face around the world, leveraging new insights from a survey of 66 GCs, heads of litigation and other senior lawyers.
