Augusta, the UK’s largest funder of litigation by case volume, today announces the appointment of Clara Segurola as Lead Economist.

 

Clara is a financial economist with more than 15 years of professional experience and joins from NERA Economic Consulting, where she was an Associate Director specialising in the assessment and quantification of damages in international disputes.

She has been recognised as one of the Most Highly Regarded Expert Witnesses in the Future Leaders category of Who’s Who Legal Arbitration survey for her “strong track record of valuations and quantifications of damages from across various industry sectors”.

Louis Young, Managing Director of Augusta, said:

 

“Clara and her skill set are a key addition to our recently incepted Investment Valuation and Structuring team, which is headed up by Matt Pitchers, who joined us from Deloitte late last year. The IVS team is our response to demands from our law firm clients who are looking for deeper expertise and support from their funder. The services of the team are available at no cost to our law firm partners, and it makes the task of structuring finance solutions for their claims a much more collaborative process.”

 

Clara Segurola, Lead Economist at Augusta, said:

 

“I am very pleased to be joining Augusta Ventures. I’ve been impressed with Augusta’s reputation in the market and their forward-thinking approach to innovation. I look forward to making a significant impact and to helping law firms and their clients gain access to funding in the most efficient way.”
