[Online Seminar held on May 5th] Towards an era of fighting at zero cost: Strategic use of TPF
[Online seminar co-hosted by Tokyo International Law Office and FRONTEO Co., Ltd.]
In recent years, Third-Party Funding (TPF) has rapidly gained recognition as a viable option for businesses considering litigation or international arbitration.
TPF enables parties to pursue legal claims without using their own funds, opening up new options for turning legal risk into a strategic asset.
The seminar will welcome Ms. Earl Rivera-Dorera, who has extensive experience in over 200 international arbitration cases as an arbitrator, counsel/counsel and hearing assistant.
The seminar will share the basics of TPF, trends in major countries, important considerations for Japanese companies, and practical insights based on actual cases.
The first half will be in Japanese, and the second half will be presented at a leisurely pace using slides in both English and Japanese so that everyone can understand the content.
◆ Date and time: Friday, September 2025, 5 16: 15-00: 16
