Webinar: Litigation Funding – Supporting Client Resilience
Christopher Convey • 16 July 2020
Litigation funding is now mainstream and the demand for funding is increasing.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a catalyst in increasing requests for funding not only from companies facing solvency issues but from organisations who would traditionally have funded their own litigation but are now looking to maintain cash on the balance sheet.
Securing litigation funding for your client’s case will give you and your client an independent view of the case by the funder’s legal team and with a focus on case value, this is a useful tool for your in-house clients when discussing cases with their own finance functions.
Join us for this webinar where Emily O’Neill and Luis Olmos of Deminor Recovery Services will talk you through:
- What do clients’ want? How to have the funding conversation
- How to identify cases suitable for funding
- How to prepare your case for a quick decision from a funder
- Your case is funded! What happens next?

Towards the end of a recent evening roundtable we hosted in Bangkok, after a couple of hours of good discussion, some interesting debate and wine that, in hindsight, probably deserved a slightly bigger share of the event budget, someone asked a very simple question: If an AI agent is doing a job in your organisation, who actually manages it? And who is accountable when it gets something wrong? It was probably the question from the evening that has stayed with me the most.
