A new video exploring offshore litigation investment is a must see. The joint Brick Court and Hereford Litigation seminar with Vernon Flynn QC, Benjamin Woolgar and Ben Mays profiles thoughts, ideas and trends driving offshore litigation funding innovation. 

Here are some key takeaways from the YouTube film: 

• Litigation funding as a tool is still being digested by the broader public. Such public awareness campaigns have yet to be groundbreaking. Over the lifetime of the industry, key historic moments will be linked to developments in public exposure. 
• In theory, there is no limit to the amount of litigation investment dollars associated with large scale offshore litigation portfolio assets. 
• Litigation finance is more than a finance tool. Some are embarrassed by the outdated view of the litigation finance industry. 
• Sophisticated relationships and trusted partners are the core of offshore litigation investment. It is a long term relationship. 
• Offshore – onshore ligation partnerships are smart. Cross border litigation funding is less developed than onshore practice. 
• There is a spectrum reflected between offshore and onshore litigation innovation.
• Cultural change is an international movement. Yet, issues of principles are still evolving. 
• Enforcement of offshore litigation claims is emerging. Some argue case litigation costs should be recoverable assets. 
• Fraud and asset recovery is earning new offshore investment. 
• Case analytics powered by data seem important, but fundability is still heavily subjective.
