Yesterday, the LFN seminar ‘Litigation Funding for Transactional and Litigation Lawyers’ took place at the Paris offices of Ydès Avocats, with a hybrid format that attracted a diverse group of legal professionals. The event explored key opportunities in litigation funding, covering topics such as how corporate claimants are using private equity and distressed debt funds, and how litigation firms can leverage funding to secure fee collection and gain a competitive advantage.
Speakers included Rafael Truan Blanco, Executive Director of The Law Firm Network, Dr. Roland Kläger, Partner at HAVER & MAILÄNDER, Elena Rey, Head of Litigation Funding at Brown Rudnick, Valérie Nicod, Partner at Ydès Avocats, Dr. Nikolaus Pitkowitz, Founding Partner at Pitkowitz & Partners, Ayse Yazir ACII, Global Head of Origination at Bench Walk Advisors, and Mohsin Patel, Director at Factor Risk. Moderated by Dr. Kläger and Elena Rey, the seminar provided valuable insights into how funding can reshape both transactional and litigation practices.
The event was a great success, with participants gaining practical strategies to improve cash flow and financing options, while also sparking dynamic discussions and networking within the litigation funding space. We look forward to continuing these conversations and finding trending topics in the legal landscape in future events.
