As the interest in litigation funding continues to grow, insolvency practitioners in Canada and the U.S. are increasingly considering its value. Litigation funding can assist in completing cases that were ongoing at the time of an insolvency, and can also be used to pursue cases that arise out of the insolvency. In each case, funding can unlock assets that might otherwise be left on the table.
