Advocating for litigation funders that strengthen the fight for justice.
Fighting for justice against the biggest corporations requires more resources than ever. Accordingly, a growing number of legal finance companies have entered the marketplace to help level the playing field for plaintiffs.
But the truth is that third party litigation funding is still poorly understood, leaving it vulnerable to attack.
A report from Westfleet Advisors found that the legal finance industry committed $2.8 billion to deals in 2021, and its assets under management increased from $9.4 billion to $12.4 billion in the last two years. Because litigation finance threatens the advantages defendants have enjoyed for decades, corporate interests have embarked on a campaign to spread disinformation in the court of public opinion, targeting legislatures and regulatory agencies that they hope will undermine this nascent yet critical industry.
Disinformation spreads quickly when there is an information vacuum. We have the experience and expertise to counter this disinformation and ensure the industry’s voice is represented in debates that are crucial to the future of the civil justice system.
TELL YOUR STORY
Litigation funders need to develop the right messaging that explains how they help people who have been injured and their families fight for justice. We have years of experience working with prominent plaintiffs’ law firms and on pro civil justice issues.
Prepare for upcoming battles
State and federal legislatures, regulators, and the courts are poised to investigate legal finance companies and the industry at-large. Having a strategy and message in place before these battles are fully underway is essential to win the debate and ward off actions that would disadvantage the industry and plaintiffs.
Promote the industry’s successes & value
Litigation finance is still poorly understood and utilized by the plaintiffs’ bar, as questions remain about the industry generally and the value proposition of individual funders. Sharing your successes and mission is key. Our counsel to plaintiffs’ law firms extends beyond navigating media and legislative environments in high-stakes litigation. We also help enhance brands and their value as well as identify emerging trends that are key to the practice of law and the plight of injured plaintiffs.
