Lane Dietmeier and Max Volsky of Lexshares continue to be bullish on the industry’s trajectory despite broader economic concerns, as a majority of funders report improved business performance, a new funder has entered the litigation finance space and the industry took centre stage in the national news.

Lexshares highlights key developments in the litigation finance industry from the third quarter of 2022, including continued investor appetite for litigation assets, developments in the Delaware courts relating to disclosure of litigation financing arrangements, and more.

LexShares has released a first-of-its-kind report, The Litigation Funding Barometer – A Data-Driven Analysis of What Litigation Funders Want, which analyzes more than 31,000 lawsuits filed in US federal and state jurisdictions to reveal which characteristics separate funding-worthy cases from the rest of the pack, ultimately finding that just 12% of federal cases and fewer than 10% of state cases met the threshold for funding consideration in 2021.
