Leon IOANNOU

I am an Investment Manager and Senior Legal Counsel at Omni Bridgeway, sourcing, funding and managing investments in commercial disputes, especially complex international arbitration.

I bring to my role a unique mix of internal and external legal and financial expertise acquired over 20 years. Previously, I was the general in-house legal counsel for the European operations of an international medical device company, and have worked as a financial analyst. I also practiced international arbitration at White & Case LLP, Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP, and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, where I resolved complex cross-border disputes in a wide variety of industries around the world.

Omni Bridgeway is the longest-established firm and a global leader in managing legal and financial risk, offering end-to-end dispute resolution finance from case inception through to post-judgment enforcement and recovery. It has the largest litigation funding team in the world, with operations and expertise in common- and civil-law legal and recovery systems around the globe.
