Manolete Partners (MANO)

Manolete Partners Plc is the leading insolvency litigation financing company in the UK and was founded in 2009 by its CEO, Steven Cooklin. Manolete was listed on AIM in December 2018.

As at 30 September 2019, Manolete had invested in 344 UK insolvency litigation cases and completed 211 of them. Manolete is different from other litigation funders because cases are completed very quickly – the average case duration is less than 12 months. This is because Manolete owns, and is therefore in full control, of its cases. It is not a mere passive “funder” of cases. 96% of cases are settled long before trial - minimising costs and optimising returns.

Manolete won ‘Growth Company of the Year’ at the 2019 Shares Awards, which covers all listed UK companies. The Company is three-time winner of ‘Insolvency Litigation Funder of the Year’ at the Turnaround, Restructuring and Insolvency Industry Awards. Manolete was ranked 55 in the Financial Times’ list of ‘Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies’ in 2019.
