Litigation funding is an increasingly-popular tool for attorneys and clients to share the risk and reward of litigation with third-party investors, and for investors to capitalize on the uncorrelated returns generated by legal-driven revenue. However, the term "litigation-" or "legal-" funding actually encompasses a handful of products, which vary based on borrower profile, stage and sector of litigation, use of proceeds, and ultimately, cost of capital and risk-reward profile. This webinar examines three funding products -- case fundings, law firm loans, and portfolio fundings -- and aims to inform attorneys on best solutions for their firms and clients, and provide an overview for institutional investors looking to allocate capital to litigations.
The COMMERCIAL LITIGATION FUNDING 101 - 2018 Series is produced by Financial Poise™. The second and final episode in the series is "Three Case Studies, " airing on June 12th at 1:00 PM CST. Both episodes will be available live through West LegalEdCenter and then on-demand following the live premiere.
