RegisterABOUT THE EVENT:
The third-party funding industry has experienced explosive growth and now has an estimated $15 billion in commercial litigation investments. It is also causing rapid changes to the legal profession. Law schools and legal academia, however, are paying insufficient attention to the changes in the legal profession brought about by third-party funding. The University of Utah Law Review will host a four-panel conference bringing together many of the leaders in the industry to discuss some of the emerging trends in third-party funding.
