Harbour Litigation Funding has launched a new £150 million funding venture with Mishcon de Reya called MDR Solutions I. It will be used to fund litigation and arbitration cases for Mishcon de Reya’s clients. Operationally separate to the law firm, the new venture will be responsible for assessing and investing in prospective cases originated by Mishcon de Reya. MDR Solutions I will benefit from sophisticated data science capability and expertise which has been built by Mishcon de Reya over a number of years. Harbour will be co-investing alongside the firm. Speaking on behalf of Harbour, CIO Ellora MacPherson stated that “this is fantastic news and the next step in the development of our relationship. We have nine active cases which Mishcon de Reya are advising on and close relationships between the teams at every level of the organisation. We look forward to working even closer together.”
