Adam Gill is a founder and Managing Director at GLS Capital and a leader in litigation finance. I talked to Adam to learn how he obtained his financial independence and used that to pursue the opportunities that led him where he is today. We discussed the strategies to create opportunities and serendipity. And we dive into the investments he's made, and how he recommends others invest their time and effort and capital.
Adam’s experience in litigation finance began in 2013 when he joined Gerchen Keller Capital, LLC (“GKC”) as its first employee and led its patent investment team as the firm grew from $100 million AUM into the world’s largest private fund focused on legal and regulatory risk in 2016, with $1.4 billion AUM. After GKC was acquired by Burford in December 2016, Adam served as a Principal at Burford.
Prior to joining GKC, Adam was a partner in the patent litigation group of Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Chicago. Before joining K&E in 2004, Adam was a litigator in the Silicon Valley office of Dechert LLP, where he practiced patent, trade secret, securities and antitrust litigation. Adam holds a J.D. from the University of California-Hastings College of the Law and a B.A. from the University of South Carolina.
