Perspectives: Busting The Litigation Myths

Litigation funding is a fast-growing sector, with investors placing more funds into the market, new providers emerging and the courts acknowledging the value provided by the funders. However, there are many misconceptions and misunderstandings about what litigation funders do, who they can assist and how much they expect to get paid for their services. It is important that these myths be exposed and the most common concerns about litigation funding addressed.
