Eric Chenoweth has joined litigation boutique Ajamie as senior counsel in Houston, coming off a six-year stint in litigation finance, an experience the trial lawyer said gives him a “great tool” for evaluating the risks of lawsuits.

“The way that a funder has to look at cases … just kind of broadens your experience, just how you see cases and how things unfold going forward,” said Chenoweth, a former partner at Houston trial firm Yetter Coleman.
