A chartered accountant, Mr Grant has gained extensive UK and international experience with large firms through to start-ups.

He said: “The company has always been successful, and at the moment it is on a steep growth curve which makes Nera Capital increasingly attractive to additional institutional investors.

“The firm has an exceptional business model where pursuit of justice for the benefit of claimants is at the heart of everything it does while also generating superior risk adjusted returns for our investors. It’s a win-win for everyone except the corporate wrongdoers.

“I’m very pleased to be at Nera and aim to make a positive contribution as part of the management team.”

Director of Nera Capital, Aisling Byrne, said the team were delighted to welcome Mr Grant aboard and look forward to growing the firm together.

She said: “This year Nera Capital has been able to expand substantially, while achieving significant milestones with multiple investments around the world and large settlements being also achieved.

“We are confident that Mr Grant will be able to guide our team through further growth, while we focus on investment returns and justice in the legal system.”
