Examines industries including US healthcare
sector, in which consolidation and rising costs are driving an
increase in major disputes
NEW
YORK, June 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Burford Capital, the leading global finance and
asset management firm focused on law, today releases its latest
Burford Quarterly, a journal of legal finance that explores
the top trends at the nexus of law and finance.
Articles in the Burford Quarterly 3 2024 include:
- The business and legal trends shaping
healthcare
The US healthcare industry is one of the
country's largest. Business factors from consolidation to rising
costs to lingering Covid-19 impacts are contributing to increases
in major disputes, which are in turn driving shifts in how
healthcare businesses pursue and finance recoveries.
- Expert insights: Construction disputes roundtable
Burford moderates a roundtable of construction dispute experts
as they discuss megaprojects, AI and the challenges of accurately
forecasting and managing construction
disputes.
- The European perspective: Assessing the impact of the
Unified Patent Court
A year after its launch, patent
experts weigh in on the new UPC pan-European patent litigation
system impacting 17 member nations, more than 300
million people and, increasingly, businesses and law firms
pursuing corporate IP monetization, including expectations of
increasing use and acceptance of the UPC.
- Judges weigh in on financial disclosure
Judges at
a recent legal finance industry conference explained why mandatory
disclosure of legal finance is unnecessary and would hinder the
efficiency of businesses pursuing their claims.
David Perla, Co-COO of Burford Capital, said: "Our
latest Burford Quarterly takes an in-depth look at how
economic factors and business trends are contributing to impacts on
companies across industries. Of particular note is a close analysis
of the US healthcare sector, where increasing consolidation and
rising costs is causing more and larger disputes. We also talk to
industry experts on topics including the rise in construction
sector disputes and the impact of the EU's Unified Patent Court,
which for the last year has enabled businesses to enforce their
rights across all 17 member nations much more effectively, leading
to a big rise in interest in financing IP litigation in
Europe."
