Katch Investment Group have hired Felix Curtis as Director of Litigation Finance. Felix was previously at Harbour for three years as an associate director in the investment team. Katch have committed £80m to a number of litigation finance investments over the past year. Katch are looking to expand and diversify its portfolio, and continue to produce strong returns to its investors.
A survey commissioned by Harbour found that half of the 200 UK partners surveyed were seriously considering setting up their own practice, citing working arrangements, independence and retaining profits for growth as motivating factors.
Harbour is backing a competition claim valued at up to £13.6 billion filed by law firm Humphries Kerstetter at the Competition Appeal Tribunal alleging serious anti-competitive practices against Google and its parent company Alphabet Inc. The claim alleges that Google abused its dominant position in the market for online advertising, earning super-profits for itself at the expense of the tens of thousands of publishers of websites and mobile apps in the UK.
