Shifting attitudes towards third party funding – views from across the globe

In this panel session we will explore and discuss, from the perspective of both practitioners and third-party funders, the following themes:

• an overview of the current position on and attitude towards third-party funding in arbitral/court proceedings in the UK, Europe, Middle East, Singapore and India;.
• whether there are advantages to introducing arbitral/procedural rules in relation to third-party funding and, if so, which topics should fall within the scope of those rules;.
• what if any impact the introduction of formal rules/laws permitting the use of third-party funding has on the perception and popularity of a jurisdiction as a choice of forum/seat for the resolution of international disputes.
