Katherine Mulhern is the co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Restitution Capital, the first impact litigation funder that focuses on recovering assets lost or stolen from governments through corruption. Restitution turns claims against bad actors who extracted these illicit financial flows into an investable asset. Working with lawyers and investigators, Restitution goes after these assets and returns them to victim governments in a way that is transparent and accountable. Prior to founding Restitution, Katherine was the CEO of three large not-for-profits based in the UK, the US and West Africa, which focused on impact litigation and for civil society and democratic governments and the investigation of illicit financial flows. Prior to her work in the third sector, Katherine was a senior law firm partner in the UK and the US providing advice to newly democratic, post conflict governments on governance, transparency and accountability. Before she was a lawyer, Katherine was an investigator for an African Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
