(including a market-leading corporate finance offering), real estate,
commercial, IP & technology (CIPT), banking & finance, tax &
wealth structuring and employment. Memery Crystal is one of the leading legal

LionFish Litigation Finance Limited ("LionFish")

The Group also provides litigation finance in selected cases through a
separate arm, LionFish Litigation Finance Limited. LionFish finances
litigation matters being run by other solicitors in return for a significant
return on the outcome of those cases. As such, the Group has two types of
litigation assets - Rosenblatt's own client matters, and litigation matters
run by third-party solicitors. LionFish is positioned to be a unique,
alternative provider to the traditional litigation funders.
