Understanding Litigation Funding

Comparative Perspectives on Regulation, Market Behaviour, and Economic Consequences

Litigation funding, or third-party financing of legal disputes, has emerged as a transformative mechanism within modern legal systems, presenting both opportunities and challenges. This study provides a detailed exploration of litigation funding across key jurisdictions, including the European Union, United Kingdom, United States, and Asia-Pacific, with an emphasis on regulatory frameworks, market behaviours, and economic implications. By integrating legal analysis with comparative perspectives, this work offers valuable insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to understand the complexities of litigation funding and its broader implications for the legal order.
