Litigation Funding under the spotlight: Global developments and Insurer strategies
The ready availability of litigation funding is vital for access to justice, but its rapid and largely unregulated growth brings new challenges for insurers. Lack of transparency, inconsistent disclosure rules, and potential conflicts of interest can undermine the integrity of proceedings.
In this webinar our presenters will address:
- Global trends in litigation funding and recent case law developments: From Dutch class actions to U.S. construction accident claims under New York Labor Law.
- Disclosure and enforcement challenges in multi-jurisdictional cases and international arbitration.
- The impact of predatory lending practices and lienholder interests on claim resolution.
- Regulatory compliance, policy wording for funded claims, and reputational exposure.
- Market shifts, including diversification of funder interests in Australia and the move away from securities class actions.
- Germany’s evolving market: Strong growth in funded cases and budgets, driven by antitrust claims, cartel damages, and investor actions following corporate scandals - despite the absence of a coherent regulatory framework.
- Critical perspectives: How different jurisdictions approach third-party funders, whether access to justice comes at too high a cost, and key defences to funded claims including disclosure and security for costs.

Corporate structures under pressure: Managing head office liability risks
Globalisation has driven parent companies to design corporate structures with clear boundaries for finance, management and liability. But recent litigation trends are challenging these safeguards, with an increasing number of claims seeking to hold parent companies directly accountable for the actions of overseas subsidiaries.
For insurers, this evolving risk means heightened exposure under General Liability and Directors’ & Officers Liability policies, as parent companies face growing scrutiny and potential liability for global operations.
