LITFINCON Europe: A New Era in Litigation Finance

LITFINCON, the esteemed global series dedicated to litigation finance, is making its debut in Europe with an inaugural summit scheduled for October 7-8, 2026, in Amsterdam. This two-day event promises to gather prominent stakeholders in the legal finance landscape, including major litigation funders, law firms, general counsels, and institutional investors.

A Historic Venue

The venue for this significant conference is the Rosewood Amsterdam, a luxury hotel that has a rich historical context as it was once the Palace of Justice, the main courthouse of Amsterdam. Here, LITFINCON aims to reignite a tradition of legal dialogue in this remarkable setting, allowing for fruitful discussions amidst the city’s picturesque canals.

Expanding Opportunities

The launch of LITFINCON Europe marks an important expansion for the series, following successful events in Houston and a forthcoming edition scheduled for Singapore in June 2026. This European summit will focus on the rapidly evolving regulatory landscapes within the UK and EU, which are currently navigating transformative issues such as disclosure requirements and the ramifications of third-party funding.

Robert Le, Co-Founder of Siltstone Capital, noted, "With capital flooding into litigation finance at unprecedented rates and an urgent demand for in-depth dialogue among senior professionals, the timing for LITFINCON Europe could not be more opportune."

Comprehensive Conference Program

The agenda is packed with valuable insights presented through eleven panels that delve into various facets of litigation finance over the two days. Presentations will kick off with a global market overview, progressing into the intricacies of regulatory differences that impact operations across the UK, EU, and US markets.

Discussions will also focus on structural deal-making components unique to Europe. This includes analyses of the ‘loser pays’ cost provisions, integration with After The Event (ATE) insurance, and approaches to portfolio financing. Furthermore, the conference will juxtapose European methods of collective redress against international arbitration and cross-border enforcement efforts.

On the second day, the spotlight will turn to investment strategies and innovations shaping the litigation finance sector's future. Topics such as how institutional investors like pension and sovereign wealth funds are evaluating European litigation finance and the intersection of ATE insurance with funding will be scrutinized. Additionally, the emergence of the Unified Patent Court promises to introduce new dynamics for intellectual property disputes.

Human leverage in a tech-driven landscape will be highlighted as discussions delve into the effects of the EU AI Act and GDPR constraints on the industry. A candid conversations session, designed to facilitate honest and unscripted reflections among industry veterans, will conclude the event, leaving attendees with valuable insights into what Europe excels at compared to the global arena.
