Charlie Rooke to speak at the European In-house Litigation Summit

Charlie Rooke, Director at Burford Capital will speak on the panel, “Litigation funding: the in-house experience", during The Lawyer's European In-house Litigation Summit. The session will take place on October 27 at 4:50pm CET in Amsterdam. 

The litigation funding market is rapidly changing and developing across Europe. Following the European Commission’s light touch judgement on the litigation funding market, how might we see the market change? What do in-house litigators need to be aware of? This panel discussion will aim to answer the following questions:

• Combined with an improved class actions mechanism, will the lack of regulation of third-party funding accelerate the generation of more claims?
• How is the litigation funding landscape developing across Europe, and what are the limitations of funding for claimants and defendants?
• What are the experiences of in-house counsel of litigation funding?
• Where lies the balance between access to justice and litigation funding?

Mr. Rooke will speak alongside Christian Smith (The Lawyer)
