In a special event at Maastricht University Campus in Bruxelles, at the hearth of the European Union district, Dr. Gian Marco Solas will launch his new book 'Third Party Funding. Law, Economics and Policy' edited by Cambridge University Press (2019).

Please join us to celebrate the launch with introduction by Professor Michael Faure, and conclusions by Mr. Wieger Wielinga, followed by a drinks reception kindly sponsored by Omni Bridgeway.

About 'Third Party Funding. Law, Economics and Policy' (CUP, 2019):

The book explores third party funding (TPF) as stand-alone practice within the wider litigation and legal services' markets. The book reports on legal issues related to TPF in both common law and civil law jurisdictions, and in the international context. It shares incentives and economics of TPF transactions in different legal contexts while explaining how the practice emerged and how it is likely to develop. The book offers practical insights into TPF transactions and analyzes a number of regulatory proposals that could affect its use and desirability.

This work would be of interest to scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and anyone else interested in how TPF is changing the practice of law.
