Overview

We invite you to join us in an interactive virtual workshop series on third-party litigation funding, co-hosted by Burford Capital and Nivalion AG, together with Young ArbitralWomen Practitioners, the Equal Representation in Arbitration Pledge Young Practitioners' Subcommittee, HK45, and Transnational Dispute Management. The workshop will take place on 3 March 2022, 9:30-11:00am (CET) / 8.30-10:00am (GMT) / 4:30-6:00pm (HKT) and 8 March 2022, 3:00-4:30pm (CET) / 2:00-3:30pm (GMT) / 9:00-10:30am (EST).

 

The series will be led by representatives of the leading funders Burford Capital and Nivalion AG. The workshops will be especially useful for senior legal practitioners, including those who regularly consider new mandates and which issues to have in mind at the outset of a new matter. Participants will learn:

  • what cases are suitable for funding,
  • how the funding process works,
  • when to seek funding, and
  • what offerings (e.g. portfolio funding, monetization of awards) and pricing options are available on the funding market.
