IVO Capital Partners becomes the 8th member of the European Litigation Funders Association (ELFA)
IVO Capital Partners, an independent French investment manager, has joined ELFA as its 8th Member.
BRUSSELS, 22 December 2023: The European Litigation Funders Association (ELFA) is pleased to announce that IVO Capital Partners, an independent French investment manager active in litigation funding for nearly 10 years, has joined the association as its eighth member.
Paul de Servigny, Manager of Litigation Finance Strategy at IVO Capital Partners, stated: “Active since 2014, we have witnessed first-hand the strong development of the litigation finance industry in Europe, for claimants and lawyers seeking funding as well as for investors seeking different strategies and return profiles compared to typical illiquid offerings. Joining ELFA and being able to work with our fellow funders is the logical step as the market grows and further institutionalises itself. We are very excited to play an active part in helping to guide and advise the various national and European institutions and governmental bodies that have shown, for good reason, increasing interest in litigation finance.”
Charles Demoulin, ELFA Director and Deminor Chief Investment Officer, commented: “We are delighted to have IVO Capital Partners join ELFA. Their France-based team has extensive experience and expertise in litigation funding, and brings a French perspective on board. With IVO Capital Partners, we further increase the number of European jurisdictions represented in the association. While litigation funding is a global phenomenon, the ability to acknowledge, understand and address regional and local specificities, legal and cultural, particularly within the EU, remains a priority for ELFA and its members. We look forward to involving IVO Capital Partners in all our activities. We trust that their contribution to ELFA’s mission, together with those of all existing and future members, will be highly valuable for the litigation funding industry and the legal community as a whole.”
