ACCC Pop-Up Dialogue - Shifting Litigation Risk: Legal Finance and Insurance

This panel will give an overview of the mechanics of the evolving field of commercial legal finance/litigation funding, explaining how financiers de-risk plaintiffs and plaintiffs’ lawyers by funding litigation and advancing funds against expected damages and fee awards. It will also explore the insurance industry’s own recent forays into taking plaintiff-side litigation risk. Finally, it will touch on claims that legal finance influences the dynamics of litigating and settling disputed matters.   

Speakers:
Professor Tom Baker, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School
Amber Finch, Partner, Reed Smith LLP
G. Andrew Lundberg, Managing Director, Burford Capital
