Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Litigation for Sale? The Hidden Forces Behind Rising Insurance Rates
Q: What key protections does the bill include?
It requires disclosure of third-party funding to the court, mandates clear contract terms (12-point font, understandable language, spaces to initial), and forbids active involvement by funders in mediation or strategy, focusing on transparency and safeguarding against predatory practices.
Litigation for Sale? The Hidden Forces Behind Rising Insurance Rates
Q: What prompted you and your colleagues to introduce SF-2929?
My background is in insurance litigation, and I started seeing how third-party funding could drive up costs and obscure who's involved, making cases harder to settle. The bill aims to bring transparency, require disclosure, and give plaintiffs a real option to reconsider the financing path.
Howden’s Holiday Hijinks and a Jury Consultant Walk Into a Bar
Q: How has the jury consultant industry evolved with millennial and Gen Z jurors in mind?
Jurors have become more anti-corporate across generations, with millennials in particular showing distrust shaped by Enron-era memories; defense and plaintiffs both contend anti-corporate sentiment now appears on both extremes, and juries increasingly question government-sanctioned approvals post-COVID.
Optimized for EBITDA, Not Clients: What Brokerage Consolidation Gets Wrong with Dean Hildebrandt
Q: How would you describe the current consolidation trends in the insurance brokerage space?
Dean observes fewer transactions but with larger deal sizes, driven by private equity and a focus on portfolios of EBITDA rather than client outcomes; he also highlights the disruption this creates for employees and the importance of independent firms and culture in navigating the space.
Conflicted Capital: The Price of Justice with Nick Rowles-Davies
Q: How does third-party litigation financing differ between the UK and the US, and what drives its adoption in each market?
In the UK, funding is often tied to access to justice and regulated practices around adverse costs; it supports individuals and SMEs to pursue claims, with strong emphasis on transparency and court-led oversight. In the US, growth has been driven by corporate funding and portfolio strategies that reduce balance sheet risk and enable larger, multi-case investments, though it faces variability in regulation and a heavier focus on due diligence and expected returns.
