The burgeoning list of former Big Law partners who now work at litigation funding shops has grown by two more names.
VGL Capital LLC, a Marina del Ray, California-based litigation funder started in 2015 by former Dentons and Mayer Brown partner Robert Gilbert, announced on Monday its hire of an ex-Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher partner and a former in-house litigation chief at Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. The additions bring the team at VGL Capital, an abbreviation for VersusGoliath Litigation Finance, to four former Big Law partners with decades of experience.
