How did a lowly orange seller become the most famous actress of her time and mistress of King Charles II?In 1660, King Charles II ruled that female stage roles must be played by women, leading to the rise of the 'Covent Garden Goddesses'. As a result, Nell Gwyn - born 375 years ago this month - went from being a humble orange seller to a celebrated actress and Charles II's most enduring and famous mistress.Professor Suzannah Lipscomb explores how Nell Gwyn became an 'It girl' - one of England's first celebrities and cherished folk heroine - with Professor Laura Engel and Charles Beauclerk, Earl of Burford, a direct descendant of Nell Gwyn and King Charles II.Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

Welcome back to Divorce at Altitude! After a brief hiatus, hosts Ryan Kalamaya and Amy Goscha are back with a deep dive into a frequently debated topic in divorces: separate property. They tackle complexities surrounding what constitutes separate property, how it's treated in Colorado, and the critical nuances involved in tracing its value.Episode Highlights:- Introduction to Separate Property: Ryan and Amy break down the difference between marital and separate property and how Colorado's progressive approach influences the division. They explain how separate property (such as assets acquired before marriage, through gifts, or inheritance) can appreciate during a marriage and how that appreciation is treated as marital property.- Burford vs. Powell Approaches: The discussion touches on the legal frameworks used to calculate appreciation in separate property. Learn how the Burford approach involves tracing every financial transaction, while the Powell approach takes a more simplified, entity-based view.- Types of Assets: The hosts dive into various asset classes, such as real estate, retirement accounts, brokerage accounts, trust interests, and business interests, explaining how separate and marital property components are handled differently for each.- Challenges of Documentation: Ryan and Amy stress the importance of financial records in proving the value of separate property at the date of marriage, including bank statements, appraisals, and tax returns. They also discuss how inheritance documentation, such as wills and trust records, plays a role in tracing separate property.Key Discussions:- Complexities of Separate Property in Divorce: Why proving separate property can be challenging, particularly when accounts are commingled or when assets such as businesses and trust interests are involved.- Real Estate and Retirement Accounts: Real estate is often the easiest to trace, whereas retirement accounts present challenges when factoring in marital contributions and market appreciation.- Separate Property Documentation: The episode highlights the critical importance of keeping accurate records of gifts, inheritances, and business interests to protect separate property claims during divorce.

#202 How Does Corporate Legal Finance Work? with Jordan Licht https://open.spotify.com/episode/7gxFduDodLzWwcUMKr0rpV?si=nKOiLbeOT1m-TXDZ1wf7Xw In this episode of the Grow CFO Show, host Kevin Appleby sits down with Jordan Licht, the CFO of Burford Capital, to discuss the fascinating world of legal fundraising and litigation finance. Jordan Licht's career journey to becoming the CFO at Burford Capital is an interesting one. He transitioned from a 15-year background in investment banking and consulting to eventually taking on the CFO role, reconnecting with a former boss who had also joined Burford. This highlights the importance of maintaining professional networks and how serendipitous career paths can be. The core focus of the discussion centers around Burford Capital and the unique world of litigation finance. Jordan provides an overview of how Burford invests in commercial litigation cases, sharing in the risk and reward. He explains Burford's thorough underwriting process, the challenges of estimating case durations, and the benefits their capital and expertise can provide to clients. The conversation also touches on Burford's global presence, their approach to building a non-law firm culture, and the complexities of funding and managing the company's own capital requirements. Beyond just traditional finance responsibilities, Jordan emphasizes the value of having diverse experience across sales, strategy, and operations. This broader understanding of the business, rather than just the finance function, has been crucial in his current role as CFO. Jordan discusses how this experience has helped him appreciate the symbiotic relationship between business operations and finance, and the dependencies that exist between the two. Key topics covered include: Jordan Licht's career journey to becoming CFO at Burford Capital Jordan's diverse experience beyond traditional finance roles Overview of Burford Capital and litigation finance Burford's investment process and client engagement  Cash flow and fee structure in litigation finance Jordan's role as CFO and building a non-law firm culture Burford's global presence and client engagement Funding and capital management at Burford https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yaJ0oH0uWU Links Jordan Licht on LinkedIn Kevin Appleby on LinkedIn GrowCFO Mentoring Timestamps 0:0:12 - Introduction by Kevin Appleby 0:0:48 - Jordan Licht's introduction and background 0:1:59 - Discussion on career networking and connections 0:2:34 - Jordan's previous roles before Burford Capital 0:4:03 - The evolving role of a CFO 0:5:01 - Explanation of Burford Capital's business model 0:7:07 - Litigation finance and its benefits 0:10:05 - Underwriting and investment process 0:11:58 - Win rates and case outcomes 0:14:14 - Example of a litigation finance process 0:16:49 - Financial and strategic benefits for companies 0:18:11 - Jordan's role as CFO at Burford Capital 0:19:39 - Company culture and working with lawyers 0:21:55 - Building the right company culture 0:23:05 - Client engagement and partnerships 0:24:50 - Global presence and operations 0:25:35 - Size and structure of the finance team 0:26:45 - Burford's investment portfolio and capital sourcing 0:28:37 - Closing remarks and appreciation Find out more about GrowCFO If you enjoyed this podcast, you can subscribe to the GrowCFO Show with your favorite podcast app. The GrowCFO show is listed in the Apple podcast directory, Spotify and many others.

It's a very entrepreneurial place." "You've got to put in the work to have the talent, to have the skills. And I think in today's such fast world, people want things immediately. And they don't realise that actually things are hard." "I think if you are out there as an entrepreneur, TikTok is a fantastic place to teach, to learn, to teach people." "Most people want more of real people. They want less of the perfect life. I think that's over." "I think people are so used to now quick results because of the internet, the way we work, the likes, the shares, the immediate gratification. But it's not really quick results, is it? And there's this whole thing about talent actually is, and I think that, you know, all the talent competitions and seeing influences is you don't realise the 30 weeks, 30 years of work that went into their 15 minutes of fame." "Particularly if you've got a niche, a passion, and it doesn't have to be that niche, it doesn't have to be crazy niche, but something that is a spinoff from something, let's say it's gardening, you know, if you're doing something particular around a certain style, then you're going to grow." "When you are least feeling it is when you need to sort of tune into that, I don't know, that superhero version of you that says actually she would go out whatever the weather and knowing that, and concentrating on the feeling you're gonna get after."

This Day in Legal History: The Stamp Act of 1765On this day, March 22, 1765, a pivotal event in the prelude to the American Revolution occurred when the British Parliament enacted the Stamp Act. This legislation required that a wide array of documents within the American colonies—ranging from newspapers and legal documents to playing cards and dice—be printed on specially stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp. This act marked the first direct tax imposed by Britain on its American colonies, designed to raise funds to pay for the British troops stationed in North America after the French and Indian War.The Stamp Act ignited a firestorm of protest across the American colonies. Colonists united under the banner of "No taxation without representation," arguing that the British Parliament had no authority to levy taxes on them since they were not represented in the House of Commons. This principle challenged the very foundation of British authority in the colonies and set the stage for the escalating conflict that would eventually lead to the American Revolution.The colonies' response was swift and decisive. By October 1765, the Stamp Act Congress convened in New York City, bringing together representatives from nine of the thirteen colonies. This Congress was a significant step towards colonial unity, drafting a detailed petition to King George III and the British Parliament, demanding the repeal of the Stamp Act. They argued that only their own colonial assemblies had the legal authority to tax them.The Act also spurred the formation of secret societies, such as the Sons of Liberty, which organized protests and even intimidated stamp distributors, leading many to resign. The widespread boycott of British goods by American colonists further strained economic relations between the colonies and the mother country.The colonial resistance had a profound impact. By March 1766, less than a year after its enactment, the Stamp Act was repealed by Parliament, marking a significant victory for colonial opposition. However, the relief was short-lived as Parliament passed the Declaratory Act, asserting its right to legislate for the colonies "in all cases whatsoever," setting the stage for future conflicts.The Stamp Act and its repeal were crucial moments in American legal and political history, illustrating the colonies' growing resolve to govern themselves and laying the groundwork for their eventual fight for independence. This day marks not just a legislative act but a moment that galvanized the American spirit of liberty and self-determination.Law firms are reinforcing their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in response to conservative criticism and economic downturns, which have jeopardized recent advancements in diversity. Initiatives like increasing DEI education and clarifying the inclusivity of their programs are among the steps taken by firms such as Davis Wright Tremaine and Foley & Lardner. This response aims to sustain the progress made following the widespread calls for racial justice after George Floyd's murder in May 2020, which had led to a notable increase in the hiring of women and people of color. However, a Supreme Court decision and subsequent legal threats have pressured firms to modify their DEI practices, leading to a decline in the hiring of diverse candidates. The industry has witnessed a reduction in requests for diverse candidates and a significant drop in hiring amid a challenging economic climate, with global deal activity and recruitment of third-year law students declining. Despite these challenges, law firms remain committed to their diversity goals, as evidenced by the resilience of DEI fellowship programs and the positive outcomes for diversity fellows. This commitment is seen as crucial in maintaining diversity within the legal profession, despite the current political and economic headwinds.Law Firms Boost Diversity Defenses After Conservative BacklashIn a significant legal ruling, Sysco Corp. has been granted permission by a federal judge in Illinois to transfer its claims in a major chicken price-fixing lawsuit to Burford Capital Ltd., the external financier that provided $140 million in funding for the litigation. This decision comes after Burford Capital opposed Sysco's intentions to settle some of the claims for what it considered an insufficient amount, leading to an agreement that Burford would assume control of the claims. The move faced opposition from meat producers, who argued that Burford, being an outsider to the direct litigation, should not be allowed to take over the cases. This stance was somewhat supported by a previous ruling in Minnesota, where a judge denied a similar request by Burford to substitute itself in pork and beef price-fixing lawsuits, citing concerns that the funder's profit motives could obstruct settlement efforts. However, Judge Thomas M. Durkin's approval of Burford's substitution in the chicken litigation case marks a departure, emphasizing that such arrangements are increasingly common in modern litigation. This decision represents a notable victory for Burford Capital in its strategic litigation financing endeavors, highlighting the evolving dynamics of legal funding and the roles of external investors in litigation.Burford Notches Win in Quest to Take Over Sysco Chicken LawsuitsThe U.S. government's antitrust lawsuit against Apple, alleging monopolistic practices in the smartphone market, echoes the landmark 1998 case against Microsoft. However, legal experts believe that the differing market dynamics between Apple's current smartphone dominance and Microsoft's past control over desktop software present unique challenges for the government's case. The lawsuit accuses Apple of stifling competition and innovation through restrictive app developer policies, potentially leading to higher consumer prices. Apple, holding a 55% share of the North American smartphone market, contrasts with Microsoft's 95% desktop OS market share in the 1990s, suggesting a less clear-cut case of monopolistic behavior. Additionally, Apple faces significant global competition from Android, which commands a strong market presence outside North America. A previous antitrust case brought by Epic Games against Apple did not find that Apple users were unduly "locked-in" to its ecosystem, potentially complicating the government's position. Nonetheless, the Department of Justice and the Biden Administration's Federal Trade Commission are pursuing the case, reflecting a willingness to challenge big tech companies to foster competition and innovation in the sector.Apple antitrust suit mirrors strategy that beat Microsoft, but tech industry has changed | ReutersIn my column this week, I examine President Joe Biden's proposed housing tax credit, highlighted in his state of the union address, which aims to alleviate the financial burden for homeowners amidst high mortgage rates. I argue that while the intention behind the tax credit is commendable, its focus on demand rather than supply could exacerbate the existing housing imbalance. To truly foster homeownership, I suggest reforms to the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program to incentivize the construction of affordable homes. I also discuss the stalled Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2023 and propose radical supply-side reforms, such as more permissive tax-exempt financing for developers, to address the affordability crisis effectively.I critique the tax credit proposal for potentially favoring those who can afford higher upfront costs, thus disadvantaging lower-income buyers who need immediate relief. This, coupled with the proposal's year-end application, could inadvertently sideline the very demographic it aims to help. Moreover, without addressing the supply side of affordable housing, the policy might inflate prices further, making homeownership less accessible for first-time and lower-income buyers. Despite the good intentions behind Biden's proposal, I stress that solving the affordable housing crisis requires a comprehensive approach that balances supply and demand, and caters to the immediate financial needs of aspiring homeowners. Policymakers must prioritize long-term strategies over temporary fixes to ensure that homeownership is attainable for all Americans.Biden Housing Tax Credit Targets Demand, but Supply Is the IssueThis week's closing theme is by Jean Baptiste Lully.Jean-Baptiste Lully, born Giovanni Battista Lulli in Florence, Italy, in 1632, became one of the most influential composers of the French Baroque era and a founding father of French opera. His journey from Italian immigrant to the court composer for King Louis XIV of France is a remarkable tale of talent, ambition, and transformation. Lully's mastery of music and his ability to mirror the grandeur of the Sun King's reign through his compositions led him to become the superintendent of the king's music and the director of the Royal Academy of Music.Moving to France in his teens, Lully initially served as a dancer and violinist at the court of Louis XIV. His exceptional musical skills soon caught the attention of the king, leading to his appointment as the court composer. Lully's close relationship with Louis XIV allowed him to monopolize French opera, a position he maintained through a mix of talent and shrewd manipulation. He significantly contributed to the development of the tragédie lyrique, a genre combining French classic drama and ballet with music, which became immensely popular in the 17th century.One of Lully's most enduring works is "Le bourgeois gentilhomme," a comédie-ballet created in collaboration with the playwright Molière. First performed in 1670, this piece was commissioned by Louis XIV and is a satirical take on the pretensions of the social-climbing merchant class. The suite from "Le bourgeois gentilhomme," particularly its overture, showcases Lully's genius in blending witty musical themes with the elegance and majesty of the French court. The overture, with its lively and refined character, sets the tone for a work that is both entertaining and a subtle critique of contemporary society.Lully's influence extended beyond the confines of the opera house and the court, shaping the future of French music and leaving a legacy that endured well into the 18th century and beyond. His death in 1687, caused by gangrene from a wound sustained while conducting, marked the end of an era. Yet, through compositions like "Le bourgeois gentilhomme," Lully's genius continues to be celebrated for its pivotal role in the development of Western classical music.Without further ado, the overture from “Le bourgeois gentilhomme,” by Jean Baptiste Lully.

This Day in Legal History: Congress Permits Voting Machines in Federal ElectionsOn this day in legal history, February 14, 1899, Congress marked a significant technological leap in the electoral process by approving the use of voting machines for federal elections. This decision opened a new chapter in how votes were cast and counted, moving away from the traditional paper ballots towards a more efficient and potentially more reliable mechanical method. The introduction of voting machines was seen as a revolutionary step forward, aimed at reducing fraud and errors that marred earlier elections. Like swapping a horse-drawn carriage for an automobile, this shift promised to propel the American electoral system into a new era of speed and precision, ensuring that the will of the people was registered and reported with unprecedented accuracy. This legislation not only reflected the innovative spirit of the age but also underscored a commitment to refining and advancing democratic processes.In a Bloomberg Law exclusive, Fenwick & West is laying off nearly 10% of its attorneys and staff amid challenges in the tech-focused legal market. The decision, communicated by firm chair Richard Dickson, comes after an evaluation of both current and anticipated future demands, affecting just under 10% of the firm's professionals. Fenwick & West, a key player in Silicon Valley legal circles with clients like Apple, Oracle, and Meta Platforms, is responding to a downturn in transactional markets that has similarly impacted other tech-centric law firms such as Cooley and Goodwin Procter. The firm had ramped up hiring from 2020 to early 2022 to meet a surge in demand, but the subsequent slowdown in transactional activity has led to misalignment between the firm's talent levels and client needs. Despite the layoffs, legal recruiter Summer Eberhard remains cautiously optimistic about the future of corporate transactional practices. Affected employees will receive a minimum of 13 weeks of base pay and health benefits, with the longest-tenured staff eligible for up to 40 weeks of compensation. Fenwick & West Laying Off Nearly 10% of Attorneys, Staff (2)A recent judicial decision has created significant ripples within the litigation financing sector, particularly impacting Burford Capital Ltd and its involvement in price-fixing lawsuits alongside plaintiff Sysco Corp. Magistrate Judge John F. Docherty ruled against the substitution of a Burford Capital affiliate as the plaintiff in pork and beef price-fixing cases, a move that challenged the firm's $140 million funding arrangement with Sysco. This decision underscores the tension between the objectives of litigation funders and the public policy against financial speculation on legal claims. The case has drawn attention to the broader litigation financing industry, valued at $13.5 billion, especially in the realm of antitrust claims, where the costs of litigation are notoriously high and outcomes uncertain.The clash between Sysco and Burford has ignited debate over the influence of third-party funders in litigation and prompted calls for increased transparency within the industry. Critics, including the US Chamber of Commerce, argue that such funding arrangements can unduly influence the course and outcomes of legal proceedings, pushing for legislation that would require disclosure of financing agreements in legal cases. Meanwhile, proponents of litigation finance see the judge's decision as a specific instance rather than a systemic problem within the industry, emphasizing its role in enabling costly antitrust litigation to proceed.The ruling, pending review, has not only put a spotlight on the practices and impacts of litigation finance but also sparked discussions on potential regulatory responses. As the industry navigates this challenging landscape, the case between Sysco and Burford may serve as a catalyst for reevaluating the balance between the needs of litigants for financial support and the integrity of the judicial process.Judge's Order Deals Blow to Sysco, Burford Capital in Pork SuitsAlphabet and Microsoft have diverged from the Nasdaq's recommended format for reporting board diversity, opting instead for a more visual representation using dots and check marks, while Tesla and Amazon have adhered more closely to the suggested templates. Since Nasdaq's rules requiring annual diversity disclosure took effect in 2022, companies listed on the exchange have adopted varied approaches to reporting, complicating direct comparisons between them. The regulations also mandate Nasdaq-listed companies to maintain diverse boards or explain the absence of diversity, a requirement that has withstood legal challenges from conservative groups. Despite the differences in reporting styles, experts like Amy Augustine of Boston Trust Walden Co. view the overall trend towards disclosure as progress, providing investors with crucial information previously unavailable. The use of symbols for disclosure, as seen in Alphabet and Microsoft's reports, is defended by some as offering more detail than Nasdaq's templates, though it presents challenges for analysis, particularly by computers. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s move towards machine-readable data in proxy statements, such as requiring XBRL for pay-versus-performance data, contrasts with the less standardized board diversity information, which is not required to be XBRL-compliant. This discrepancy highlights the ongoing challenge of making diverse corporate disclosures more accessible for automated analysis. By way of very brief background XBRL, or eXtensible Business Reporting Language, is a global standard for digitally sharing financial and business information. Think of it as a translator, turning human-readable reports like financial statements into machine-readable data. This data is tagged with specific meanings, allowing computers to easily understand and analyze it. XBRL benefits everyone: companies save time and effort, investors gain deeper insights, and regulators get better data for analysis. It's revolutionizing the way business information is shared and used.As the SEC contemplates broader board diversity disclosure requirements for all public companies, the landscape of corporate reporting on board composition is poised for further evolution. This movement reflects a growing recognition of the importance of diversity in corporate governance and the need for transparency to support investors' decision-making processes.Alphabet, Microsoft Pivot From Nasdaq Diversity Reporting FormatElon Musk has vocalized concerns that Delaware, a jurisdiction chosen by a majority of large public companies for incorporation due to its predictable legal system, is attempting to thwart companies from relocating, particularly in light of a court decision that invalidated his $56 billion Tesla compensation package. Musk's reaction, notably on social media, suggests an urge for companies to consider moving their incorporations out of Delaware, citing the state's alleged efforts to "lock the doors," as exemplified by the Tripadvisor case.The TripAdvisor case revolves around the company's desire to relocate its incorporation from Delaware to Nevada, a move that reflects broader corporate discontent with Delaware's legal environment, despite its reputation for business-friendliness. TripAdvisor's move, endorsed primarily by chairman Greg Maffei despite opposition from a majority of minority shareholders, aims to benefit from Nevada's more lenient laws on self-dealing, where directors face fewer legal challenges. This case not only underscores the tension between corporate interests and shareholder protections but also signals a potential shift in the landscape of corporate registrations, with states like Nevada and Texas vying to attract businesses away from Delaware. The outcome of TripAdvisor's attempt to move could set a precedent affecting Tesla's and other companies' relocation plans, amidst ongoing debates about the balance between corporate governance and shareholder rights.Delaware's legal framework, historically favored for its specialized Chancery Court and non-jury trials, has been perceived as facilitating rather than obstructing corporate moves to other states. Recent legislative adjustments in 2022 have simplified the process for companies wishing to reincorporate elsewhere, allowing such moves with majority shareholder approval, a shift from the previous requirement for unanimous consent. This modification ostensibly makes Delaware more accommodating for companies contemplating relocation.However, the Delaware Court of Chancery's ongoing examination of reincorporation efforts, especially those potentially advantageous to controlling shareholders, introduces a layer of complexity. The Tripadvisor litigation highlights this scrutiny, with allegations that a planned move to Nevada could enable easier self-dealing by significant stakeholders, suggesting Delaware's courts may critically evaluate such transitions to ensure they do not undermine minority shareholder interests.The situation with Tesla underscores a broader dialogue on corporate governance, shareholder rights, and the legal mechanisms in place to safeguard these interests. While Musk's significant influence at Tesla has been acknowledged by Delaware courts, the specific dynamics of Tesla's proposed shift to Texas—where legal protections differ from Nevada—might not directly align with the concerns raised in the Tripadvisor case.The impending ruling in the Tripadvisor case is anticipated with interest, as it will offer further clarity on Delaware's stance towards companies seeking to relocate, especially those with intricate shareholder structures. This decision will be pivotal, potentially setting precedents on the degree of judicial oversight Delaware will exercise over such moves, and elucidating the balance between corporate autonomy and the protection of shareholder interests.In summary, while Delaware has been characterized by Musk as obstructive, the state's legal amendments and judicial attitudes suggest a more nuanced approach, aiming to balance the flexibility for companies to reincorporate with the need to protect minority shareholders. The outcomes of ongoing legal deliberations, including the TripAdvisor and Tesla situations, will likely contribute significant insights into the evolving landscape of corporate governance and relocation.Explainer: Did Delaware 'lock the doors' to stop companies from leaving, as Musk claims? | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

How Much of the YPF Judgement Will Burford, Realistically, Recover? Burford Capital, a highly sophisticated litigation finance operation, has won an enormous judgment ($16 billion, where its share is upwards of $6 billion) against the Republic of Argentina. The question is how much of this judgment Burford is realistically likely to be able to collect on. Using a recent FT Alphaville article, “Dog Catches Argentine Car” by Jay Newman as our foil, we try to break down the likelihood of Burford getting a recovery. We think a significant recovery is plausible – particularly if the new administration in Argentina decides to default and renegotiate all of the myriad claims against it once and for all.

Our guest today has a unique window into the vast creative potential contained in the world of dreams. Della Burford has recorded her dreams as “dream mandalas” for the past 40 years!   Della Burford is an award-winning painter and best selling author of 7 books, she is based on Vancouver Island, Canada. She studied the Mische Technique of painting in Vienna and showed in many of the Society of Art of Imagination shows in Montreal, Ottawa, New York, London, and Peru. She won a prize as the best Graphic Art in an Art Show in Moscow and spoke on Art and Dreams. Her artistic stories have been performed in New York at the Museum of Natural History, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Citycorp, in Washington at the Smithsonian Institute, Korea, Guatemala, and Bali. Her play, Magical Earth Secrets has been performed for seven years in Japan, and Miracle Galaxy is now being performed. Her book “Journey to Dodoland” was turned into an e-zine and a website that was sponsored by Switfshire and has had more than 22 million views worldwide. Della was mentored by a shaman who studied with Carl Jung and also studied dreams with Robert Moss and Dream Yoga with Tenzin Wagyal Rinpoche. She started painting her dream wheels in 1975, creating one complete wheel for every year. The dream wheels have 3 rings: the center ring is for important everyday events following the seasons; the outer ring is dreams that are creative, inspirational and wise dreams (you can write a title for the dream); and the middle is small drawings which are symbols and like the title reminds you of the dream and is a portal to return.

John is joined by Christopher Bogart, Chief Executive Officer, Director and Co-Founder of Burford Capital and Derek T. Ho, Partner at Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, P.L.L.C.  They discuss how Derek obtained a $16 billion judgment, the largest ever in the United States that has not been overturned on appeal, against Argentina on a claim for breach of contract.  They also discuss the role Burford played in financing the litigation.  In the 1990s, when Argentina wanted to privatize its nationally owned oil company YPF, it faced investor skepticism due to its troubled history of nationalizing private companies.  To address those concerns, it structured the YPF offering to include a right of shareholders to have their shares repurchased by Argentina at an agreed upon price if Argentina ever retook control of YPF.  In 2012, Argentina retook control of YPF, but refused to repurchase the remaining public shares at the agreed upon price.  John, Christopher and Derek discuss the role Burford played from the outset of the case, Argentina's assertion of foreign sovereign immunity, and Argentina's other defenses.  They also discuss the summary judgment process and ruling, the three day bench trial composed entirely of expert witnesses, and the status of post-trial motions and appeal.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

When Argentina's president announced plans to nationalise an oil company in 2012, it was presented as a way to grow the country's wealth. Eleven years on, a court in New York City decided that the country owes some of the oil company shareholders $16bn. The FT's Joe Miller and Ciara Nugent explain why this has happened.

Thanks!One of the most important developments in the legal world in the past decade has been the rise of litigation finance, which has emerged from relative obscurity—and even illegality in certain states—to become a multibillion-dollar industry. Initially viewed by many with either skepticism or befuddlement, litigation finance has gone mainstream, and today numerous Am Law 100 firms and Fortune 500 companies work with funders for mutual benefit.But litigation finance remains controversial in some quarters, and its rapid growth has led to calls for greater regulation or disclosure. Based in part on such issues, I have long been interested in the field, dating back to when I covered it for Above the Law. Recent news stories—including litigation between a top funder and a former client, followed by a high-profile trial last month in the Southern District of New York—have brought litigation funding back into the headlines, making now an opportune time to explore it on this podcast.In picking a guest, I adhered to my approach of going straight to the top, speaking with the #1 executive at the #1 funder: Christopher Bogart, co-founder and CEO of Burford Capital, the world's largest provider of legal finance. In our conversation, Chris and I covered his remarkable legal career, in which he became the general counsel of a Fortune 50 company just seven years out of law school; the early days of litigation finance, including the founding of Burford; attacks on litigation funding, including claims that it makes litigation more widespread, long-running, and expensive; and his own firm's public beef with Sysco, the food-distribution giant and former Burford client. If you're not familiar with litigation finance—how it works, how it has evolved, and how it's transforming the legal and investing worlds—you'll want to listen to this episode.Show Notes:* Christopher Bogart bio, Burford Capital LLC* An Innovator's Journey: From Star Litigator to Litigation Finance, by Russ Banham for Carrier Management* A $16 Billion Wall Street Lawsuit for the Ages, by Eriq Gardner for Puck* Burford Capital Eyes Billions in Payout for Argentina Suit, Bloomberg LawPrefer reading to listening?
