Join the DRI Center for Law and Public Policy for an enlightening discussion of all things litigation financing. What is litigation funding/financing? How can third-party litigation funding (TPLF) impact cases? Can you discover information on TPLF and if so, how? Are there strategies that can be used to combat it? How should I talk to my clients about this emerging area? Learn the answer to these questions and more! The webinar will address key concerns about litigation funding, recent trends in funding practices, calls for transparency, and recent proposed laws and FRCP rule changes.
This topic will carry right into the 2025 DRI Annual Meeting where the Center will have another fantastic panel discussing advanced strategies for identifying and managing TPLF. Learn how third-party funding affects litigation strategy and defense tactics, understand how funders’ financial incentives shape plaintiff behavior and case management, and discuss how litigation funding can alter settlement negotiations and strategy from a defense perspective. You won’t want to miss part two in Chicago as part of the Annual Meeting, October 15–17, at the beautiful Chicago Marriott on the Magnificent Mile.
