ACC Australia Webinar
Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustraliaBusiness leaders around the world are using dispute finance to create value, conserve cash and reduce cost and risk.
Dispute funding is a key strategy for businesses seeking to enforce and protect their intellectual property rights, and to do so without cost or risk, conveying strength to the market and opponents, and leveling the playing field against larger opponents where necessary.
Dispute finance allows companies to appoint leading legal
advisers to prosecute intellectual property claims, protect trade secrets, and challenge infringement of patents, copyright and trademarks while reserving capital for R&D or other projects, removing legal expenses from their P&L and leveraging legal claims as valuable assets.

- which cases are best suited to dispute finance
