Where the thesis was formed

Built from the operator's seat, not from the sidelines.

The perspective comes from operating inside live legal infrastructure rather than describing it from a distance.

2012Litigation finance

Backing claimant-side growth at scale

Craig built his early reputation by seeing where capital could widen access to justice. He worked inside the economics of mass claims, law firm growth, and the machinery required to take cases from idea to throughput.

2020Legal AI

Turning operational friction into a technology thesis

Years inside the litigation room sharpened an unfashionable conviction: the next legal AI winners would come from operators who knew where cases actually stall, not from vendors optimising surface-level drafting tasks.

NowiQuote CEO

Operating at the junction of capital, law, and execution

As CEO of iQuote, Craig sits where law firm economics, financing structures, and product thinking collide. The result is a point of view grounded in execution rather than commentary.

Operator perspective

One thesis, carried from litigation finance into legal AI.

Craig's point of view is simple. The next important legal businesses will be built by people who understand where law firms actually lose time, conviction, and throughput. This site stays close to that operator perspective rather than dressing it up as generic thought leadership.

Operator thesis

He reads legal change from the pressure points, not from the press release.

Craig's work sits inside the messy middle where case volume, reporting, throughput, and capital collide. That vantage point shapes a view of legal AI that is less interested in novelty and more interested in rebuilding how firms actually run.

Capital thesis

Litigation finance is not adjacent to the future of law. It is one of the forces building it.

The firms that win the next decade will treat operations, funding, and software as one system. Craig's perspective stays focused on what happens when firms are engineered for output rather than habit.

Access thesis

Real access to justice is where principle and operating discipline meet.

The cases that matter most are often the cases nobody wants to underwrite, organise, or process at scale. Craig's argument is that serious capital and operator-built technology can narrow that gap.

External validation

Coverage that follows the work once the underlying thesis becomes visible in market behaviour.

Media is more useful later in the story than at the top of the page. Here it acts as corroboration for the operating record and the market point of view rather than trying to substitute for them.
