Expanding to the European Market
LITFINCON Europe follows successful events in Houston and an upcoming Asia edition slated for June 4, 2026, in Singapore. The European conference aims to delve into the continent's rapidly changing regulatory environment regarding litigation financing, focusing on pressing issues like disclosure requirements and the future of third-party funding as countries within the UK and the EU navigate transformative legal questions.
Robert Le, co-founder of Siltstone Capital, highlighted the unprecedented influx of capital into the litigation finance sector and the increasing demand for high-quality senior dialogue. He notes that the event's timing is perfect, as European stakeholders face critical regulatory changes that influence operational frameworks.
