Summary

The consumer litigation funding industry has historically been considered a necessary evil. Plaintiff funding helps clients get by during the course of their lawsuit, but usually at a high cost. This CLE will explore what plaintiff funding is, the pitfalls to avoid, the ethics around this largely gray area, how to talk to your clients about it, and how you can turn it into a resource for your firm.
