August 2023: A quiet summer?

August 2023: A quiet summer?

We hope you enjoyed your Bank Holiday weekend. There are only a few days left of August - the summer holiday month that can traditionally be one of the quieter periods for our sectors.

This August has been anything but quiet. From what we are hearing from those of you 'on the ground' and seeing in recent court activity and the media, as well as the number of enquiries we have been receiving, we can expect the next few months to be even busier.

One of the things that will be filling our diaries is the return of our networking event series, The 500 Club co-hosted by Asertis Ltd and CAPA , on 7th September.

However busy we get, we always appreciate time spent speaking to ourcontacts (old and new) – something Mike Wright did for his latest news article when he asked Mark Sands at Apex Litigation Finance Limited for his thoughts on a recent bankruptcy and fraud case that has ended in a custodial sentence for the bankrupt.

We do hope you will be able to find the time to join us at one (or more) of our networking events in the coming months. Please get in touch if you would like to attend any of the events.

Or if you would like to catch up outside of the events, please let us know. We are always happy to meet for a coffee or lunch.
