Hot Topic with Legal 500 and Hogan Lovells: Why litigation funding could define the future of competition claims Litigation funding – once a supporting player – has become a decisive factor in competition litigation. The UK Supreme Court’s 2023 PACCAR ruling unsettled the market by classifying many funding agreements as “damages-based agreements,” which cannot be used in opt-out collective claims. This has forced funders and litigators to rethink their approach. So what happens next? Legal 500’s latest Hot Topic explores how funders are re-shaping their models – from investment-style returns to adapting strategies across jurisdictions – as the Competition Appeal Tribunal develops its stance. Why this matters: For claimants: Will funding still be available on terms that enable access to justice? For funders: How can profitability be maintained while staying compliant? For the UK legal market: Will London remain a global hub for competition litigation, or could uncertainty drive claims elsewhere? Curious about the future of funding in competition claims? Read the full Legal 500 guide here: https://ow.ly/P8wH50WK85x Thank you to Ed Coulson, Andrew Leitch, Sam Brown and India Fahy of Hogan Lovells for sharing their expertise. #LitigationFunding #CompetitionLitigation #Legal500 #HoganLovells #UKLaw #CollectiveActions #AccessToJustice #LegalInnovation #CompetitionLaw #LegalTrends
