As the usage of litigation finance expands on both a global and national level, Fox Rothschild attorneys provide clients – funded parties, funders and attorneys – with key insights into how to effectively navigate and maximize this cutting-edge financing opportunity.

Our team includes a former executive of a litigation finance company who offers invaluable perspectives into the needs of clients seeking funding as well as the goals of the companies and investors providing the financing. Pairing her legal experience with an investor mindset, she offers a nuanced understanding of this burgeoning industry. Her comprehensive approach to due diligence relating to litigation finance provides clients with a thorough risk analysis and determination of whether funding is optimal for the dispute at hand. Additionally, her extensive network within the litigation financing community helps her seamlessly connect clients with funding sources.

Our team also includes commercial litigation attorneys who concentrate their practice on legal ethics and professional responsibility. Many of the legal matters in this area of the law focus on an attorney’s ethical obligations and the attorney-client relationship generally. Our experienced practitioners are attuned to these issues and can help attorneys, clients and funders navigate them in structuring their deals or in resolving disputes.
