Burford CEO Christopher Bogart speaks with Reuters on the topic of disclosure in response to a letter from companies requesting disclosure of legal finance.
As published: "Christopher Bogart, chief executive of litigation funder Burford Capital, in a statement on Thursday questioned the motives of the companies that signed onto the letter and rejected their call for mandatory disclosures.
"'What they want is to keep their unfair advantage in the justice system and to drive up costs for anyone who sues them – which is exactly what they do whenever they find out about the identity of a litigation funder,' Bogart said."
