Litigation Funding 2019 - United Arab Emirates

We have authored the inaugural UAE chapter in the annual Guide to Litigation Funding published by Law Business Research (part of the "Getting the Deal Through" series). This is the third edition of the global survey of the law and practice of litigation funding.

With the third-party funding of litigation and arbitration becoming an increasing reality in the world's leading dispute resolution centres, this guide is a timely survey of its regulation and practice in key economies worldwide. Topics covered include: specific legislation and regulation of third-party funding; available funding options; fee and interest limits; conditional and contingency fee agreements; choice of counsel; funder attendance and participation in proceedings; veto rights; funding termination; class actions funding; liability; costs; and after-the-event insurance.
