Portfolio Litigation Financing - What's in it for the Lawyers?

Lincoln Caylor authors "Portfolio Litigation Financing - What’s in it for the Lawyers?" with contributions from Nina Butz.  Over the last decade, third-party litigation funding has established itself as an important and profitable product for funders, their investors, law firms, and clients alike. However, the funding model first introduced to the legal world looked significantly different than the deals seen in headlines today. Among other factors, this evolution can be traced to the emergence of “portfolio financing” – arguably the defining trend in litigation funding over the past year. Several of the largest players in the funding arena are now investing less than 15% of their litigation investment portfolios in single-case deals.  Published in ICC FraudNet.
