What happens when a law firm has an ownership interest in a litigation funder? Litigation, naturally. This all seems very avoidable through proper disclosure.

As with all good things, people and capital rush in. Now let’s wait to see how the judiciary and regulators will react….thin edge of the wedge or will it be stopped in its tracks? Finance and Law have become inextricably linked, globally, or have they??

Finance innovation being applied to contingent fee interests of law firms, in this case for fees earned but yet to be received related to a variety of opioid claims. There has been a significant increase in the level and sophistication of finance being applied in the mass tort market, be it at the front-end origination stage or at the tail end fee monetization stage. It feels like everything is being financed and sometimes multiple times while the litigation remains unsettled. As the article states, whether that is a positive or negative remains to be determined. However, it means the so called “Leadership” Law firms are in an enviable position to have options at their disposal, although none of those options are cheap and for good reason.

This is a good high level perspective on the risks and rewards inherent in mass tort investing. It doesn't get into the details around valuation and volatility therein, which is key to understand, but it does make the point that diversification is extremely important. The other point I would make is that you also want to be diversified in terms of your entry points - lower priced / higher unknowns vs. higher priced / fewer unknowns.
