Charting the Future of Litigation Finance
Litigation finance makes the world go round. The capital financiers provide is the lifeblood for plaintiffs' firms and individual claimants attempting to run the litigation gauntlet in high-stakes battles with wealthy corporate entities. The fundamental dynamics of conflict resolution have shifted dramatically in the last decade. Understanding the legal, social, and business consequences can be elusive.
This symposium will bring together diverse voices to address the innovations and implications of the most important new trend reshaping the field.
