We’ve come to the end of another spectacular year of litigation finance in the U.S. As I’ve done for the last few years, I offer some observations and four predictions for 2022.

Overall, 2021 saw continued growth in funding in the usual ways we’ve come to expect. The industry had many new entrants, raised more capital and deployed more investment dollars than in any prior year. None of this growth is particularly surprising, in my opinion.
