Mark Beaumont
Mark graduated in 1999 from the University of Manchester with a 2:1 in Economics. After a successful career in business consultancy Mark entered the legal world in 2009 with a focus on legal costs and retainer agreements. He is now a regular contributor to publications in both the legal and insolvency sector, as well as speaking about funding, insurance and risk management at conferences and training events.
Since 2010 Mark has been a member of the Executive of the Commercial Litigation Association (CLA): The UK’s only national body representing the diverse interests of stakeholders in the dispute resolution sector.
In 2013 Mark Beaumont and Sally Dunscombe established Annecto Legal Ltd to broker litigation funding and after-the-event (ATE) legal expenses insurance. The business has developed over the last 12 years and now also secures Assignment of Litigation for restructuring professionals, various forms of WIP insurance, seed funding for litigation investigations and various other risk management products for both IPs and law firms.
Annecto exists to help navigate the fast-moving world of litigation funding: assisting clients in preparing their case for underwriters, ensuring the right markets are approached, negotiating terms and providing a service that takes the pain out of funding and insurance.
