The economics of legal services are changing. As affirmative litigation opportunities and alternative fee arrangements gain traction among corporate clients, traditionally defense-oriented global law firms are expanding into plaintiff-side and contingency work to differentiate their practices and drive growth. Legal finance is playing an increasingly important role in enabling firms to manage risk and scale these efforts.
Join us for a breakfast conversation alongside partners from leading global law firms, featuring Eva Cole (Winston & Strawn) and Ryan Phair (Paul Hastings), with Evan Meyerson (Burford Capital), moderated by David Lat, founder of Above the Law and Original Jurisdiction. The discussion will explore how these trends are reshaping law firm strategy, financial performance and client relationships, and what comes next.
