  • Monetising Claims: Third Party Funding in Arbitration and Insolvency

    Monetising Claims: Third Party Funding in Arbitration and Insolvency
    2025/10/16
    In this episode, Ajay Shandasani and guest John Y.C. Lee discussed how third-party funding is transforming legal departments by turning them into strategic value generators. The discussion highlighted how this non-recourse funding allows companies to monetize claims, transfer litigation risk to funders, and preserve capital for their core business. Lee explained that funders act as sophisticated investors, rigorously vetting cases for strong merits and enforceable awards, and are not just focused on ROI. He also emphasized the importance of carefully drafted funding agreements to avoid conflicts and maintain client control over the dispute.
