Litigators have one point of view on litigation risk. As a litigation funder, Adam Gill prices, transfers, and manages risk. As Adam notes, litigation finance has easy math and hard judgement.

This is a rare opportunity to dive into how a litigation funder considers the litigators, clients, budgets, venues, damages, appeal risk, settlement attraction, and incentives of all stakeholders. This is the dealmaking for litigation risk.

Adam's approach to litigation funding is less about splashy deals and more about chopping wood. This episode helps litigators think about winning by asking what winning even looks like.
