Understanding Litigation Funding – How External Financiers Enable Lawsuits: Opportunities, Risks, and Limits

Legal disputes can be costly. Attorney fees, court costs, and expert opinions often prevent people and companies from pursuing their rights in court. Litigation funding offers a solution: an external financier covers the costs and risks of a lawsuit. If the case succeeds, the financier receives a percentage of the award. If it fails, the financier absorbs the loss.

Understanding Litigation Funding explains in clear, practical terms how this model works, who it is suitable for, and what boundaries and risks exist. The book provides a comprehensive overview for claimants, lawyers, and even investors interested in this rapidly growing field of legal finance.
