Litigation funder Burford Capital has opened an office in Dubai, UAE, to meet increased client demand for legal finance in the region. With the addition of Dubai, Burford now has eight offices in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia.
The office will be led by managing director Daniel Hall, who will continue his co-leadership of Burford’s global asset recovery business. Previously based in Burford’s London office, Hall has relocated to Dubai where the team includes Joseph Durkin, senior vice president, an arbitration specialist and legal finance veteran in the Middle East, and Sylvia Chandel, vice president, an experienced Middle East banker, the firm said in a statement.
