IMF Bentham pioneered dispute finance in Australia in 2001 and our US operations commenced in 2011. During this time we have helped to educate the market and shape the evolution of the dispute finance industry from its infancy to what it is today. The recognition from Lawdragon reflects our experience, the strong relationships we have built across the legal industry and that we are now a preferred funder for many leading law firms. Globally, IMF Bentham is regarded as one of the leading funders in the world. This is borne out in our track record: we have achieved a 90% success rate over 18 years.

According to Lawdragon, “we are in the age of litigation finance” and its 2019 guide lists those financiers and other legal consultants and strategists such as marketing and communication gurus on whom the legal profession relies.
