An Introduction to Third Party Funding & Cross-Border Litigation

Introduction

Funding litigation has been a challenging landscape for solicitors for many years.

This is especially true in cross border litigation, which requires great expertise and carries with it particular risks. Funding such litigation often falls to clients' own pockets and off-balance sheet funding, resulting in huge risk and far-reaching consequences.

Understanding the many benefits of third-party funding in offshore litigation is vital to pursue cases which otherwise would be abandoned or pursued with considerable financial commitments and risk.

This introductory virtual classroom seminar will provide simple and clear guidance on the practical role third party funding has in offshore litigation, the types of cases typically attracting funding, as well as an outline of the offshore jurisdictions’ approach to funding.
