Member Quote: ‘Access to justice’ feels like an overused expression but sadly the justice system is not a level playing field. Those without means are either at a disadvantage or excluded all together. I’ve always been passionate about litigation fundings ability to support those in need and as an industry we should be proud that our services change lives. It’s easy to forget about the human on the other side of our spreadsheets and financial forecasts, so it’s always a good exercise to remind ourselves of why we do what we do and that we hold an important responsibility to those people.
