Litigation Funding, Class Actions & International Dispute Resolution Conference

Tue Feb 27 2018

On 13 April 2018, between 1.00pm and 5.30pm, the University of Sydney will host a conference on "Litigation Funding, Class Actions & International Dispute Resolution Conference". The globalisation of markets is creating opportunities and challenges which confront regulators, judges, litigators, funders and others systemically involved in dispute resolution. Should litigation funding be regulated? What are the implications of the increased prevalence of funded class action proceedings in courts?

The opening address will be delivered by the Honourable Michael McHugh AC QC, with the keynote speaker being Professor Deborah R Hensler, the Judge John W. Ford Professor of Dispute Resolution at Stanford Law School. Chairing the seminar will be Mary Walker, 9 Wentworth Chambers.
