Third Party Funding: Law, Economics and Policy


Add your own review!

Overview

In Third Party Funding, Gian Marco Solas, for the first time, describes third party funding (TPF) as stand-alone practice within the wider litigation and legal services' markets. The book reports on legal issues related to TPF in both common law and civil law jurisdictions, and in the international context. It then discusses the incentives and economics of TPF transactions in different legal contexts while explaining how the practice emerged and how it is likely to develop. In addition, the book offers practical insights into TPF transactions and analyzes a number of regulatory proposals that could affect its use and desirability. This work should be read by scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and anyone else interested in how TPF is changing the practice of law.

Reviews

'Essentially this book presents a copiously researched study aimed at enabling readers to make at least a better-informed judgment of the advantages, or otherwise, of third party funding. It will almost assuredly pique the interest of academics and practitioners alike and anyone else seeking an enhanced understanding of the ins and outs, not to mention the rights and wrongs, of TPF [Third Party Funding].
