Considerations about third-party funding in international arbitration

Third-Party Funding can be a practical tool for economically disadvantaged parties in arbitration proceedings. Access to arbitration for insolvent parties can be addressed through it. However, it has several implications, namely, its impact on: (i) the confidentiality of arbitral proceedings; (ii) conflicts of interests; and (iii) orders for security for costs. These considerations will be discussed in this blog post.
