LITFINCON Launches Its Inaugural European Conference in Amsterdam
LITFINCON, a renowned series of conferences focusing on litigation finance, is set to host its first European meeting in the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Scheduled for October 7-8, 2026, this exciting event will be held at the luxurious Rosewood Amsterdam. The early bird registration is already available, paving the way for an engaging gathering of industry leaders and professionals.
The European Litigation Market
The decision to launch the conference in Europe isn't random; the region has rapidly evolved into a crucial hub for litigation finance. This shift is largely attributed to the increasing prevalence of cross-border collective actions, the complexities of international arbitration, and the rising number of intellectual property disputes. Furthermore, tools like the Netherlands' WAMCA regime, along with the establishment of the Unified Patent Court, signals changing dynamics in legal financing and management.
As these transformations unfold, LITFINCON Europe aims to convene a diverse group of participants, including investors, funders, law firms, corporate legal teams, and other industry executives. This collaboration is expected to lay the groundwork for the future trajectories of litigation finance, with conversations that matter.
Previous Editions and Growing Popularity
The upcoming Amsterdam conference builds upon the success of LITFINCON Asia, which took place in June 2026 at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Over its five-year journey, LITFINCON has attracted more than 1,000 participants across its various events held in cities like Houston and Beverly Hills. It is now regarded as a premier platform for senior decision-makers in the litigation finance sector.
Jim Batson, Chief Investment Officer at Siltstone Capital, notes, "Europe is where some of the most important questions in litigation finance are being deliberated. This conference offers a unique space for those discussing these critical topics to come together." In Amsterdam, funders, law firms, and capital providers will have the flexibility to engage in meaningful discussions that drive the future of the industry.
