LITFINCON Europe: A Focus on Legal Financing

The much-anticipated LITFINCON Europe is set to open its doors on October 7-8, 2026, at the luxurious Rosewood Amsterdam. This prestigious event will bring together prominent figures from across the legal finance industry, including senior leaders from Burford Capital, Therium Capital Advisors, Susman Godfrey, CAC Specialty, Ignite Specialty Risk, and WTW. This conference marks the seventh edition of the LITFINCON series, the first held in Europe, and promises to be a pivotal event for stakeholders in the rapidly evolving field of legal financing.

What to Expect

LITFINCON aims to facilitate meaningful dialogues among financiers, dispute partners, corporate attorneys, insurers, and institutional investors. The event will kick off on October 6 with a VIP dinner followed by a scenic boat tour through the picturesque canals of Amsterdam, fostering networking and relationship-building among delegates.

Jim Batson, the Chief Investment Officer at Siltstone Capital, emphasizes the importance of trust in the industry, stating, "Every deal in this sector begins with a conversation between people who trust each other." This focus on relationships and informed judgment underpins the event's structure, distinguishing it as practitioner-led rather than driven by event promoters.

The 11-panel program is designed to address key issues currently facing the legal financing industry. Participants will explore topics such as:

• - How the Unified Patent Court is reshaping IP strategies
