Litigation Funding Under Pressure - Funding on Trial: Capital, Control and Ethics in 2026

5 Jun 11:30 - 13:00

Corporate & Commercial Disputes, Costs (including funding arrangements)

Core proposition:

Litigation funding has moved from tactical option to systemic infrastructure. With that shift comes judicial scrutiny, legislative intervention, capital discipline, and ethical tension. This panel examines whether the funding market is entering a period of recalibration or reckoning, and what the future of the funding market looks like in 2026 and beyond.

Objectives of the Session:

By the end of the discussion, the audience will have a better understanding on:

• Whether litigation funding is becoming more constrained, more professionalised, or more fragile

• How PACCAR and post PACCAR reforms are shaping deal structures

• Whether concerns around control, privilege, and disclosure are now mainstream

• How interest rates and capital markets are changing funder behaviour

• What judges and tribunals are actually thinking about funded claims in 2026
