Burford contributes a chapter in Concurrences Competition Law Review
Concurrences Review has included a new article authored by Charles Griffin and Alyx Pattison as part of its latest issue on Antitrust Third-Party Litigation Funding.
The chapter explores why legal finance is increasingly central to the growth of funded opt-out claims in antitrust litigation, including:
-
The cost and complexity of pursuing high-stakes antitrust litigation and how legal finance levels the playing field
-
The recent increase of corporate opt-outs, with companies seeking greater control over litigation strategy and potential recoveries
-
Findings from Burford’s 2025 survey of in-house counsel, which analyze the financial incentives to opt outing and the barriers (particularly cost and risk) that deter many companies from pursuing claims directly
-
How legal finance, including fees and expenses financing and monetization structures, provides solutions that enable companies to pursue stronger recoveries without straining business resources.
-
Case studies showing how Burford has partnered with companies to unlock capital from pending opt-out claims and support broader corporate goals.
