A world leader in large scale
Commercial Litigation Funding.

Mark Wells, Managing Partner

Mark Wells is a former investment banker. He started with JPMorgan in 1987 where he worked until 1994 principally in the structured asset and derivative areas. Mark continued his banking career at Goldman Sachs, Chase Manhattan, Toronto Dominion and Dresdner Kleinwort until founding Calunius Capital with the goal of providing litigants with solutions to the financial risk of litigation and arbitration.

Mark’s whole professional life has been spent in valuing contingent assets from an investment banking point of view. There could be no better example of a contingent asset than a Claimant’s rights in a piece of litigation or arbitration. It is easy to see why Mark is heavily involved for Calunius in financial and valuation aspects of the assessment of investment opportunities.

Mark has a degree in Engineering from Cambridge University.

Calunius Capital in the media - 2012

The third way

The Lawyer - 6 February 2012

Third party litigation funding was the topic discussed by The Lawyer’s panel this week and Calunius’ Christian Stuerwald was asked for his reaction.

Litigation funders respond to US calls for increased regulation

Edward Machin, Commercial Dispute Resolution - 3 February 2012

All hell broke loose last week in the world of litigation funding. There was a debate in the House of Lords on the Legal Aid and Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill which included half an hour on litigation funding. This was instigated by an extraordinary lobbying effort by none other than the US Chamber of Commerce, the mouthpiece of Global Big Business and Enemy of Access to Justice, whose main purpose in life is to preserve the inbuilt advantage in litigation held by the biggest of businesses. The US Chamber rightly perceives litigation funding and the Access to Justice that it gives to SMEs as a serious challenge to the US Chamber’s members. The Chamber’s position has stimulated a series of replies from litigation funders. Here you will find a selection starting with articles in CDR (above) and Rachel Rothwell’s article in Law Society Gazette (below). A copy of the Parliamentary Briefing prepared by the Association of Litigation Funders of England & Wales can also be found below.
