Hannah Howlett and Quentin Pak host Lexology webcast
Hannah Howlett, Senior Vice President, and Quentin Pak, Director at Burford Capital will host Lexology's upcoming webcast, “Follow the money: legal finance in cross-border insolvency and asset recovery.” The session will take place on September 30 at 11:30am BST.
As assets move across jurisdictions with increasing speed and sophistication, insolvency practitioners face mounting challenges in identifying, preserving and recovering value. Legal finance has emerged as an increasingly important tool, enabling officeholders and their advisers to pursue claims that might otherwise remain unrealised. This masterclass brings together a funder, an insolvency officeholder and two disputes lawyers to examine how third-party funding is being used to pursue recoveries across jurisdictions, and the risks and opportunities that trend creates in practice.
You'll gain practical insight into:
- How legal finance supports asset tracing and enforcement efforts spanning multiple jurisdictions, including offshore centres
- The funding of fraud investigations tied to insolvency proceedings, and how funders assess these cases before committing capital
- How claims are actually run on the ground: coordinating officeholders, counsel and funders across jurisdictions
- Recognition proceedings and the strategic issues that arise when pursuing recognition in a second jurisdiction
- Practical risks: conflicting jurisdictional rules, enforcement uncertainty, and managing multiple stakeholders with different incentives
Through real-world examples and practical discussion, our panel will examine how funding arrangements have evolved, how cross-border recoveries are coordinated, and where legal finance is having the greatest impact on insolvency outcomes today.
Ms. Howlett and Mr. Pak will be joined by Fergal Power (Interpath), Tim Symes (Stewarts) and Andrew Willins KC (Appleby).
