Brooks Kushman is a proud supporter of the 19th Annual Career Strategies Conference and Corporate Counsel of Women of Color. To further advance diversity in the legal profession and facilitate a healthy exchange of best practices, we are excited to work together with everyone to create real, tangible change in the communities we serve.

The Equity Project is an award-winning initiative designed to provide an economic incentive to promote diversity in law.

As the world’s largest provider of legal finance, Burford Capital has a unique perspective on the diversity gap in commercial litigation and arbitration—and a novel tool to help corporate legal teams and law firms promote DEI in law.

Since launching The Equity Project in 2018, Burford has committed over $100 million* to finance commercial litigation and arbitration led by women and racially diverse lawyers. As current Equity Project matters resolve successfully, we will contribute a portion of our balance sheet profits on behalf of our clients to charities that promote equity in law.

FTSE 350 companies and leading law firms use The Equity Project to:

• Empower women and underrepresented racial minorities to compete for new business

• Incentivise firms to ensure clients are represented by women and diverse lawyers

• Promote conversations with firms about representation and origination credit

• Augment and advance existing DEI and ESG goals

Contact Burford Capital at info@burfordcapital.com to learn more.

Equity Project capital allowed our firm to compete in a playing field that was very inequitable because it was primarily led by massive established firms that are mainly run by men.”
