About this webinar

Inflation is running hot, interest rates are rising, and recessionary signals are blinking red in the U.S. for the first time in a while. Spend 45 minutes with leading insolvency practitioners to hear about the role litigation funding will play in the next economic downturn. This session will cover the current state of the law, disclosure requirements, ethics considerations, how to obtain funding and more. We will discuss a real-world example of litigation funding in the post confirmation trust context to illustrate these concepts.

• Managers of financially distressed companies are keenly focused on liquidity and optimizing cash management. They seek ways to monetize non-core assets and reduce company expenses. Litigation funding is one possible way to achieve these objectives.
• Companies struggling to survive may have valuable claims, or a mix of affirmative and defensive litigation, to pursue and defend against, and limited resources to do so. Traditional funding sources may not be available. Funding to pay legal expenses or an up-front monetization may be available to provide immediate relief.
• Before, during and after a bankruptcy filing, a company with litigation assets may be able to obtain litigation funding to pursue recoveries that would otherwise be impossible. Funding is often used post-confirmation by a litigation or liquidating trust for this purpose.
• Today’s insolvency practitioners should know how litigation funding works, its strengths and its limitations, and whether it is a viable option for their clients.
