About us

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

Manolete has invested in over 1450 UK insolvency litigation cases and completed over 1050 of them. Manolete works alongside Insolvency Practitioners (IPs) from all of the “Big Four” to smaller regional firms. Manolete has worked with over 200 IP firms and their chosen legal advisers, often on multiple cases.

Manolete is different from other litigation funders because cases are completed very quickly – the average duration is less than 12 months. The large majority are settled long before trial - minimising costs and optimising returns.

Manolete Partners Plc was named, for the fourth time, as the only company in the insolvency litigation funding section to be ranked in Band 1 of the legal industry’s prestigious Chambers Guide.

In November 2024, Manolete was named a Financial Times Europe Long-Term Growth Champion 2025 which is an award recognising Europe’s fastest-growing companies with a commitment to sustainable expansion over a ten-year assessment period.

The Company is five-time winner of ‘Insolvency Litigation Funder of the Year' at the Turnaround, Restructuring and Insolvency Industry Awards. Manolete also won ‘Growth Company of the Year’ at the 2019 Shares Awards.

Manolete was ranked in the Financial Times’ Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies in 2018 and once again in 2019.

Manolete was listed on AIM on 14 December 2018.
