Woodsford continues to lead the way in global litigation funding and we are proud to be recognised in multiple jurisdictions for the eighth consecutive year in Chambers & Partners litigation funding guide.

This year’s Chambers rankings recognise Woodsford across Australia, the UK, Canada and Europe, reflecting our position as a leading global player in litigation funding and collective redress.

In the UK, Woodsford was recognised as a “top funder”, a “safe pair of hands” and distinguished by the “in-depth support” provided to clients and legal teams. In Canada, feedback highlighted Woodsford’s “experienced team” and strong understanding of the class actions landscape, while in Europe and the Netherlands, Woodsford was described as “smart and professional”, “very focused” and “strong on securities actions”. In Australia, Woodsford was praised for its “strong presence locally and overseas”, “sophisticated understanding” of the Australian market and “vast depth of knowledge” in complex legal matters. Market feedback also highlighted Woodsford’s “nimble, proactive and knowledgeable team” and the significant strategic value provided through its “hands-on approach”.

We are also delighted to see Steven Friel, Charlie Morris and Alex Hickson recognised individually. Steven was described as a “knowledgeable” and “commercially minded” leader, “very sharp” and an “excellent negotiator”. Charlie was praised as “amongst the best individuals in the litigation funding area”, “a master of the details” and recognised for his “shrewd intellect”. Alex was described as having a “wealth of experience”, providing “valuable insights” and bringing a “pragmatic problem-solving approach” to complex litigation.
