Balance’s business promotes access to justice by supporting litigants who do not have the means or the capability to fund worthy litigation.
There are many litigants we cannot support on a commercial basis and so we have chosen to make an annual contribution to charities that promote access to justice for the most vulnerable individuals in our two key markets – UK and Australia.
Balance is also committed to minimising its impact on the environment and to helping the world get to Net Zero.
Balance has chosen to make an annual donation to Client Earth, an environmental charity which uses litigation “to fight climate change, tackle pollution, defend wildlife and protect people and planet”.

We are delighted to announce that Will Rowlands has been promoted to Finance Manager. This well‑deserved achievement reflects Will’s continued dedication and contribution to Balance over the past several years.
The Balance Australia team are also excited to welcome Will on secondment to our Sydney office.
We are pleased to announce that Robert Rothkopf has been appointed as a Director of the International Legal Finance Association (ILFA).
ILFA plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of legal finance globally and promoting best practices across jurisdictions. Robert will bring Balance’s experience and voice to ILFA’s mission, ensuring that the benefits of litigation finance are properly understood.
This board role adds to Balance’s leading contribution and involvement with the ILFA in the UK with Oliver Hayes in London, and in Australia with Simon Burnett in Sydney.
Topics covered ASIC and the private credit markets including the recent collapse of First Guardian, Shield and Australian Fiduciaries; what to expect from changes to Australia’s climate disclosure regime; and a discussion unpacking the Australian class action market, including insights on how funders raise and deploy capital and emerging trends in class actions.
