Description:

The Handbook on Third-Party Funding in International Arbitration was created through the collaboration of the ABA Section of International Law – International Arbitration Committee, the International Council for Commercial Arbitration (ICCA), and the Centre on Regulation, Ethics and Rule of Law at Queen Mary, University of London, to study and address the central issues specific to third-party funding (TPF) in international arbitration.

This second edition delves deeper into the landscape of third-party funding, with the roster expanded to 82 authors sharing first-hand experience. Twelve chapters explore the TPF landscape from both the actors' and funders' perspectives, while 40 country-specific reports offer a comprehensive global guide on TPF in international arbitration — covering up-to-date analysis of regulation, disclosure and cost allocation; counsel guidance on ethical duties, confidentiality and disclosure; and practical advice on obtaining funding.
