Litigation Funding in Transition: What UK Reforms Mean for Singapore & Beyond - Webinar

Introduction

As cross-border disputes grow and third-party funding becomes a global norm, understanding the latest UK developments is important. A new report by the UK Civil Justice Council calls for significant changes to how litigation funding is regulated — including reversing a recent UK Supreme Court decision (R (PACCAR) v Competition Appeal Tribunal) which affected the enforceability of certain funding agreements. These changes have the potential to affect how funding structures are viewed and how the third-party funding landscape develops across other jurisdictions.

Join us for a practical webinar comparing the UK and Singapore’s litigation funding regimes — and what recent developments mean for your practice. Whether you're advising on multi-jurisdictional disputes, negotiating funding agreements, or keeping ahead of regulatory changes, this session will give you strategic insights into where litigation funding is heading in both markets.
