Erik was trained at the Brussels office of Linklaters and qualified as a lawyer in 1995. He joined Deminor in 1995 and became a partner in 1999. Erik regularly speaks at conferences on the topic of litigation funding, has published research on the state of the litigation funding market and has been recognized as a leader in his field by Who's Who Legal and Law Dragon.
Alongside Erik, other Deminor team members have also retained individual recognitions including Chief Investment Officer Charles Demoulin, and Head of Enforcement Alex Marine. In addition, General Counsel Irene Lee (Greater China and South East Asia), and General Counsel David Walker (UK) have also received Chambers and Partners rankings for the first time.
Additionally, Deminor Litigation Funding has retained its Band 1 ranking in the Chambers and Partners Ranking for Litigation Support in Europe. The firm has also achieved significant new recognitions across multiple jurisdictions, securing Band 2 for South-East Asia, Band 4 for the UK, and Band 2 for International Arbitration (Global-Wide).
This expanded recognition reflects Deminor's evolution from its 1990 founding to a global litigation funding pioneer with 9 international offices spanning 23 jurisdictions. Retaining Band 1 status in Europe whilst securing new rankings across additional jurisdictions demonstrates both the firm's international expansion strategy and exceptional track record. With a diverse team of 19 nationalities speaking 22 languages, Deminor delivers specialised expertise across arbitration, enforcement, intellectual property, competition, investments, tax, and corporate disputes worldwide.
Chambers and Partners, renowned for its comprehensive and independent research into the legal market, awarded these rankings following an extensive evaluation process. The assessment examined Deminor's track record of success, the diversity of its investment portfolio, its contribution to advancing the litigation funding industry, and most importantly, direct feedback from clients.
In past years, market commentators have noted that 'Deminor is probably the most structured litigation funder in Europe.' Further comments highlighted that 'Deminor have shown a high capacity to handle complex issues, both from a legislative and regulatory perspective, as well as from an operational and management perspective.' Additionally, as Deminor takes pride in its global presence and diverse team, it has also been said, 'Deminor has an impressive portfolio of well-experienced legal experts, financial analysts and litigation strategists. They have people spanning over multiple jurisdictions. This allows them to take on and assess complex international matters.'
Erik Bomans, Chief Executive Officer at Deminor, expressed pride in the achievement: 'Retaining our Band 1 ranking in Europe while simultaneously achieving recognition across South-East Asia, the UK, and global arbitration markets represents a defining moment for Deminor and validates our strategy of becoming a truly global litigation funding service provider. What makes this multi-jurisdictional recognition from Chambers and Partners particularly meaningful is that it reflects direct feedback from the clients we serve; their voices carry the greatest weight in these rankings, and their confidence in our ability to handle the most complex matters across diverse legal systems drives everything we do. As we expand internationally, our mission remains unchanged: democratising access to justice by providing the financial backbone that allows meritorious claims to be pursued on a global scale.'
Deminor has been instrumental in supporting numerous high-profile and impactful cases, providing financial backing and strategic expertise to clients seeking justice. This recognition by Chambers and Partners not only validates Deminor's approach but also encourages the company to further enhance its services and expand its reach in the litigation funding landscape.

Glenfiddich Owners William Grant & Sons Acquire Famous Grouse
The iconic Scotch whisky brand - Scotland's bestselling whisky - has now been acquired by family ... More firm William Grant & Sons. Following a number of regulatory approvals including from the UK Competition & Markets Authority, Scotch whisky titans and family firm William Grant & Sons has officially acquired two well-known whisky brands—The Famous Grouse and Naked Malt. Though for months the acquisition was an open secret within the industry, it was officially announced today (July 1st) and marks a significant addition to the company's iconic stable of Scotch whisky brands and distilleries which includes names like Glenfiddich, Balvenie, Monkey Shoulder, and many more. The purchase sees the brands transferred from previous owners Edrington, who own the Macallan and Highland Park distilleries, amongst others. According to The Northern Scot, Edrington had announced the agreement last year in September, as the company wanting to focus further on 'ultra-premium spirits'. William Grant & Sons' addition of Famous Grouse and Naked Malt further strengthens its offering in the Scotch blends where Famous Grouse has long been a leader—it's the bestselling whisky in Scotland. Soren Hagh, the recently appointed chief executive of William Grant & Sons, expressed his enthusiasm for the acquisition in the official press announcement: 'I am delighted to complete this acquisition and welcome The Famous Grouse into our portfolio. It is a remarkable Scottish brand with rich history and a strong market position in a number of countries. Over the coming years, we will build on this strong foundation and work to evolve the brand into a true global icon. We also see a lot of potential in Naked Malt, which will be a great addition to our portfolio. Together, these brands perfectly complement our vision for growth, and we look forward to investing in their future and sharing their stories with whisky lovers around the world.' The deal concludes several months of negotiation and transition planning between William Grant & Sons and Edrington, the Glasgow-based company that had owned Famous Grouse since the 19th century. While Edrington has been shifting focus toward premium single malts like The Macallan and Highland Park, Famous Grouse had remained a key revenue generator in its portfolio. According to industry coverage the acquisition includes both the brands and their associated inventory (including spinoff brands such as Famous Grouse Smoky Black, Sherry Cask Finish, and others) are now fully under WG&S control, though exact production arrangements haven't been revealed. It's likely that existing contracts and bottling facilities will stay in place for now. First launched in 1896, Famous Grouse is the creation of grocer Matthew Gloag III from Perthshire and has been Scotland's bestselling whisky since 1980. It also holds a Royal Warrant, which was renewed by King Charles III in December 2024, and exports to over 100 countries. Naked Malt was first launched as the Naked Grouse in 2011 before becoming a standalone brand in 2017 and then renamed in 2021. This one is a blended malt whisky aged in first-fill sherry casks that's proven to be a particular hit in Asian markets. With the acquisition of both brands, William Grant & Sons strengthens its hand in the blended market - this is particularly interesting as so many other whisky companies, such as Edrington, focus on going premium these days. In any case, consumers won't see any significant changes for the moment with the shift in ownership, but it will certainly be interesting to see what comes next for such an iconic whisky brand like Famous Grouse.
