Keith Zullow and Yoko Bian from Goodwin Procter's intellectual property litigation practice interviewed Brendan Dyer, funding director at Law Finance Group, to discuss litigation finance as a strategic tool for patent litigation. As an industry leader with a global business perspective and a commitment to client-centric approaches, Goodwin is uniquely positioned to educate existing and prospective clients about available litigation financing tools. In the context of patent litigation, cash flow and liquidity may impact decisions about pursuing meritorious claims. Litigation financing provides an alternative to traditional hourly billing that allows clients to share litigation costs and risks with litigation funders and law firms. This interview discusses how litigation finance may be used, thoughts on what to look for in a funder, and what funders view as most important.
