Litigation funding continues to produce good outcomes for plaintiffs in need of financing, and the US Chamber of Commerce continues to complain about litigation funding. A recent example of funding by Burford highlights that litigation funding can be great for a business facing unfair actions by a another business (which may be why the Chamber dislikes funding). And, "big law" (Simpson Thacher) happily used the funding to represent its client, after introducing the client to Burford. The latest examples are set out below from a DealBook article by William Alden.
