Harbour Litigation Funding or Harbour is one of the UK's first litigation funders (see Litigation Funding (UK)) and one of the largest litigation funders in the world, measured by the size of its investment funds.[1] Michael Napier CBE QC, voted Lawyer of the Year 2012 at the Legal Business awards,[2] is the Chairman of Harbour, while Sir Gavin Lightman, former distinguished judge of the High Court of Justice England and Wales, is the Chair of Harbour's Investment Committee.
History
Harbour authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, was founded in 2007 by Susan Dunn, Brett Carron and Martin Tonnby and is one of the UK’s first litigation funders. The origins of the business date back to 2002.
The Civil Justice Council established a regulatory body responsible for litigation funding and ensuring compliance with the Code. That body is called the Association of Litigation Funders.[3]
Harbour is a founding member of the Association of Litigation Funders and has both adopted the Code and undertaken to comply with it at all times.
