Susan Dunn

Spear’s Review

Harbour co-founder Susan Dunn is at the forefront of litigation funding in the UK. A founding member of the industry’s regulatory body, the Association of Litigation Funders, she has been instrumental in shaping public policy on the matter.

An investor in the funding sector for over 18 years, her litigation and arbitration funding firm Harbour promises ‘certainty in an uncertain world’. Its products fund all or part of legal costs incurred by a claimant (including solicitor’s costs, counsel’s fees, experts and disbursements). It also funds law firms in acquiring new types of cases.

In the event of a successful claim, Harbour receives a return on its investment, plus a pre-agreed share of the proceeds. But, should a case prove unsuccessful, there is no need for the claimant or law firm to refund Harbour.
