Panel: Is litigation financing reshaping the dynamics of restructurings?
With a 36% uptick in filings according to Debtwire, corporate bankruptcies continue to shape the business landscape and the role of litigation financing has gained prominence. As Chapter 11 bankruptcies continue to pile up, plaintiffs can make claims against third parties who may have caused or worsened distress. However, as an increasingly fertile ground for investing in legal claims, third-party litigators have been lining up to help creditors pursue claims in notable cases including General Motors Corp and Sears Holdings Corp. This panel will provide insights into how litigation financing is reshaping the dynamics of corporate restructurings. Speakers will discuss:
- What is driving the increase in litigation financing now compared to the low levels seen in 2008’s financial crisis?
- How is litigation financing enabling distressed companies to pursue legal claims they might otherwise be unable to afford? How can creditors recoup interests through litigation financing?
- How transparent are the roles of litigation funders in bankruptcy cases?
