You can’t pick up a newspaper or legal journal without noticing there’s something happening here in the new field of “alternative litigation finance.”
Speak to some folks on Wall Street and successful hedge fund managers and you hear that litigation is becoming the newest asset class in an otherwise diversified portfolio.
So, is a commercial lawsuit the new hedge against inflation risk and the rising price of gold?
Speak to most lawyers and law firms these days and you hear reports of clients and their in-house legal counsel seeking new and creative ways to accommodate the ever increasing cost of litigation – both to bring it as well as to defend it.
You also hear about alternative fee arrangements, alternatives to the hourly rate fee, non-lawyer investments in law firms and third party financing of commercial lawsuits.
It’s become extremely important for lawyers, in-house counsel as well as investors to understand the ins and outs of this dynamic new field of alternative litigation finance.
In this brand new webinar, we will discuss many of the following topics:
- What types of lawsuits can be financed?
- Who is entitled to the money – lawyers, experts or clients?
- How to best protect against intrusive discovery about alternative litigation financing?
- How to keep documents from becoming discoverable?
- How not to waive the attorney-client privilege when sharing information with fianciers?
- Do certain jurisdictions offer a better chance for having your investment honored?
- What types of cases may produce the best return on your litigation investment?
- How do the professionals select their cases to ensure the optimal return on their investments and thereby maximize investor value?
Call in to discuss these issues and many more with Kenneth A. Linzer, Esq. formerly of Paul Hastings and Elisha E. Weiner, Esq. who have both successfully represented commercial financiers in these and many other courtroom battles.
Presenters:
