Speaking about the merger and unification under one name, IMF CEO and managing director Andrew Saker said his company was “delighted” to be merging under the name of Omni Bridgeway.
“Over more than three decades, Omni Bridgeway has become a highly respected and trusted name in international dispute resolution, particularly in key growth markets such as Continental Europe and Asia. The Omni Bridgeway name reflects a proud, 34-year record of funding disputes and enforcement proceedings around the world, recovering billions of dollars for clients and claimants,” he said.
