Balance Legal Capital has been ranked for the third year running by Chambers and Partners UK and now also in Chambers and Partners APAC. Robert Rothkopf and Simon Burnett also received personal rankings. Thank you to everyone for the kind words and recognition.
As quoted in the Chambers guide, one market source said “My experience dealing with them has been seamless so far. You get a whole different range of funders, and Balance are very much at the professional end. They take a much more reasonable approach to the client and are easy to deal with when advising. Right at the top end of the market – they’re very rigorous with their analysis of matters.”
On Robert Rothkopf one market source says: “I think the one thing that really marks him out is responsiveness, he’s always on hand. Very bright, he picks up all the issues and asks all the right questions.”
On Simon Burnett “He is a prominent fixture in the class action space, taking on challenging and innovative cases”.

Patrick Crisp from our Sydney office has moderated Episode 11 of the Association of Litigation Funders of Australia (AALF) Webinar Series. This episode, titled The Global Market for ATE Insurance in 2024, brings together industry leaders to discuss the evolving trends and challenges in After-the-Event (ATE) insurance.
Robert Rothkopf provided a funder’s view on group and class action proceedings in the UK for the Houthoff Class Action Survey 2024. The survey offers perspectives on class action trends in 12 jurisdictions.
Robert’s predictions for the future of class actions in the UK included the expansion of claim types that will be permitted under the opt-out jurisdiction, and confirmation of the court’s jurisdiction to order defendants to pay litigation funding costs on top of damages where defendant wrongdoing and/or litigation conduct is egregious, instead of claimant’s meeting funding costs from compensation.
Thanks to Houthoff for their initiative in leading this important research.
