Russ Genet, a Director at Longford Capital and a former IP litigator, talks about the crucial rule of due diligence in IP litigation finance, how similar a litigation funder’s due diligence process is to a litigator’s and why due diligence in IP litigation finance is like mission control for a space launch.
California lawmakers are set to vote before the end of the month on legislation that would allow the California bar to test new legal service models to make them more affordable.
