McDonald Hopkins is proud to announce that the firm has been named the Exceptional Legal Services Provider for Litigation Funders (U.S.) by the International Legal Finance Association (ILFA). This award honors law firms that deliver direct, strategic, and highly valuable support to litigation funders across deal creation, portfolio management, and other critical operational needs.

The recognition highlights McDonald Hopkins’ strong and growing reputation in the litigation finance sector, particularly for its consistency, reliability, and commitment to excellence.

Marc Carmel, Co-Chair of the firm’s Litigation Finance Practice, accepted the award on behalf of the team at ILFA’s inaugural gala dinner and legal finance awards ceremony in London.

Funders, trustees, and other stakeholders should take proactive steps to ensure that future agreements are enforceable and aligned with the interests of the estate and its creditors in light of the recent bankruptcy court decision in the Northern District of Texas, which voided a $2.3 million litigation funding agreement between liquidating trustee and litigation funder.

McDonald Hopkins is proud to announce that Marc Carmel, Ed Reilly and the Litigation Finance practice have been recognized by Chambers and Partners 2025 in this year’s Litigation Support Guide. For the second year in a row, this recognition reaffirms our position as leaders in the field of litigation finance across the nation.
