R&T Asia (Thailand) has contributed the Thailand chapter of Lexology’s Getting The Deal Through series on Litigation Funding.
Third-party litigation funding has become increasingly popular in recent years. It involves the funding of a claimant’s legal proceedings (which may extend to arbitration as well as litigation) by a third party in exchange for a share of the award if the claim is successful. If the claim fails, the claimant is not liable to reimburse the third-party’s costs, essentially transferring the costs risks of the litigation to the third-party.
The Thailand chapter provides an overview of litigation funding in Thailand, covering aspects such as its regulation, conditional fees and other funding options, and costs and insurance, among others.
