In this week’s episode, we sat down with Charles Agee of Westfleet Advisors. Westfleet just released their inaugural Litigation Finance Buyer’s Guide, the most comprehensive study of the U.S. commercial litigation finance industry. Charles discusses the study’s methodology, the controversial findings that there is deployment pressure on funders and that only 30% of funder commitments are allocated to the AmLaw 200, and what the benefits are of a study such as this one for the industry as a whole.

written by John Freund
In this episode, we speak with litigation finance investor Ed Truant, and Westfleet Advisors managing partner Charles Agee about their call for the commercial litigation finance industry to associate. We discuss the benefits of an association, how they plan to deal with issues like mandatory disclosure and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and how similar associations in the UK, Australia, and on the consumer side in the U.S. can serve as examples of how to proceed.
