Burford Capital Ltd., fresh off robust half-year financials, has hired retired Latham & Watkins senior partner G. Andrew “Andy” Lundberg in Los Angeles, where he will serve as a managing director for the litigation financier.

Lundberg, who will turn 61 next week, retired from Latham’s partnership in late 2017 after a 35-year career at the global legal giant, where he served as chairman of the firm’s Los Angeles litigation and trial department and co-chairman of its insurance coverage litigation practice.
