Guido Demarco (Director and head of legal assets at Stonward) says that there is a learning curve to understanding the global litigation finance ecosystem. Mr. Demarco was interviewed by the Leaders League about the industry’s current climate and what leaders in law should keep in mind for the future. Mr. Demarco suggests that as the global financial population becomes more familiar with litigation finance, people will begin to reap the benefits of third party investment.
Meanwhile, Mr. Demarco warns that the policy decisions being made from Australia to New York State have the ability to shape and mold the future of litigation investment. Demarco says that 2022 will be a pivotal year for the industry, as lawmakers debate meaningful litigation finance regulation.
Demarco also suggests that litigation finance portfolio building is gaining momentum as one of the industry’s most valuable product opportunities. In the same vein, Mr. Demarco suggests that those who build close relationships with notable legal professionals stand to benefit from legacy relationships in litigation finance.
Demarco says that one of the major misconceptions about litigation investment is the notion that third party funders help breed ‘frivolous’ claims, rather than facilitate access to justice.
