Litigation funding – where a plaintiff’s litigation effort is financed by a third party in exchange for a portion of the proceeds of the case – is an established practice in jurisdictions such as the US and the UK, and is now becoming a regular feature of Canadian litigation, especially in the insolvency context. In this episode, hosts Ailsa Bloomer and Andrew McCoomb welcome our first industry guest to the podcast: Paul Rand is chief investment officer at Omni Bridgeway, a global litigation finance company that funds commercial disputes and enforcement proceedings around the world. Joining Paul is Arad Mojtahedi, associate in our Montréal office practising commercial litigation and insolvency proceedings under Canada's Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act.
