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 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.
