Burford Capital is actively entering the Korean market. Burford Capital is one of the leaders in litigation finance worldwide. The firm just announced the appointment of a Korean representative for its presence in Korea.
Burford noted to a local vernacular that it plans to focus on international disputes involving Korean companies, including international arbitration, cross-border disputes, and intellectual property disputes. It, also, shall focus on “non-core pre-monetization” model and “portfolio-based financing.”
The non-core pre-monetization model allows companies to secure capital liquidity by monetizing non-core assets such as patents and claims based on their future value. Portfolio-based financing bundles multiple unrelated cases and provides funding for them. By diversifying the risks of each case, it allows for lower costs compared to financing a single case. This allows companies to pursue litigation previously unavailable due to insufficient funds or capitalize on the value of claims.
