Funding in Disputes Circle

21 November 2024 to 22 November 2024
Royal Berkshire Hotel, Ascot, UK

Entering it's second year, the Funding in Disputes Circle is an exclusive, invitation only event. This Circle is expertly steered by our Advisory Board Ayse Yazir of Bench Walk Advisors, Elena Rey of Brown Rudnick, Christiane Deniger of Burford Capital, Zachary Sananes of Stewarts and Gian Kull of Omni Bridgeway. This Circle brings together senior-level lawyers, litigation funders, and other intermediaries working in commercial and competition disputes.

This exclusive invitation only event, involves facilitated discussions across one and a half days of content, led by our esteemed Advisory Board consisting of Ayse Yazir of Bench Walk Advisors, Elena Rey of Brown RudnickChristiane Deniger of Burford Capital, Zachary Sananes of Stewarts and Gian Kull of Omni Bridgeway.

This year’s Circle will bring together a more focused and complementary blend of up to 40 senior practitioners, including litigation funders, lawyers (spanning expertise in Competition, Securities, Insolvency & Asset Recovery, Arbitration, and general Commercial Disputes), brokers, insurers, and any other intermediaries relevant to the litigation funding market.

With the Chatham House rule enforced, this Circle provides a platform for the exchange of ideas, insights, and deliberation upon the most pressing issues in the industry today based on those attending the Circle. This year’s format is currently being curated by our Advisory Board to include new elements such as sector specific roundtables, and an address from an industry leader followed by Q&A, all with the intention of delving deeper into the ideas presented, exploring different perspectives, and considering practical applications.

Given the format this is very much fluid, and we are keen to take suggestions from attendees up until the event itself as to what you would like to have covered.
