Play On Podcast – Litigation Funding for Footballers
In this episode, we discuss Morgan Sports Law and Harbour’s innovative litigation funding scheme available to professional footballers which takes the risk out of pursuing claims before the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber and the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
To provide more insight and understanding about the funding facility, the discussion covers the following:
- What is litigation funding?
- From a client’s perspective, why is using litigation funding different to their lawyers acting on a no-win-no-fee conditional fee agreement?
- What kinds of cases are eligible for litigation funding through the Morgan Sports Law and Harbour facility?
- What is covered in the funding?
- Why did Morgan Sports Law and Harbour decide there was a space in that market for a facility like this?
- If I am a client who wants to use litigation funding, what does the process of applying for it through the Morgan Sports Law and Harbour facility look like? and;
- Who should I get in touch with in the first instance?
