Above the Law and Lake Whillans Launch Litigation Finance Survey
In the GAO report on the litigation funding industry published last December, one of the key takeaways from its research was the lack of publicly available data around the market and its participants. However, some industry firms and publications are leading the way on gathering such data, as Above the Law and Lake Whillans are partnering once again on their annual litigation finance survey. Announced in an article by Above the Law, the latest addition of the publication’s annual survey of attorneys and in-house counsel is being launched in partnership with funder Lake Whillans. The research aims to study these individuals’ perspective on litigation funding, with the overarching theme of ‘Is Litigation Finance An Effective Option In A Down Economy?’ The survey includes questions such as ‘What are the most important considerations in choosing a litigation financier?’ and ‘Has litigation finance become more relevant to your practice in the last year?’. The survey is brief and all responses are anonymous, with participants given the chance to win a $250 gift card. Law firm attorneys and in-house counsel are invited to complete the survey here.
