In September, Crowell & Moring Financial Services Group Partner Paul Haskel will be featured on a panel during the 7th annual LF Dealmakers Forum. LF Dealmakers Forum is an exclusive gathering of top executives and thought leaders in litigation finance, as well as in-house and outside counsel, and other key stakeholders. Widely considered the industry’s “go-to” event, hallmarks include rigorously researched program content, insightful panels, A-list speakers, 1-to-1 meetings, and a curated audience of decision makers.

“Litigation financing” is really just . . . “financing.” And it's not just for “plaintiff firms” anymore. As more AmLaw 200 firms take on plaintiff-side cases, they turn to financing to pay their hourly rates or reduce the risk of litigating long-term, complex cases. Some firms encourage their clients to obtain financing, while others need financing to take on contingency matters. Litigation funding is a significant force in the civil litigation landscape that all practitioners need to understand.

 In this webinar, our team will offer exclusive insights for navigating these scenarios, and present on key practices that can save endless headaches. Hear from Paul B. Haskel, Co-Chair of Crowell’s Financial Services Group and thought leader on all aspects of trading distressed assets. Joining Paul are Josh Sohn and Eric Aronson – Crowell commercial litigation partners who regularly resolve disputes around complex financial instruments.

While some people know a little about the litigation finance industry, few have an in-depth understanding of the industry, the different ways that litigation finance can benefit attorneys and their clients, and the process of securing financing.
