LITFINCON Europe Opens in Amsterdam October 7-8 With Burford, Therium, WTW, CAC Specialty, Susman Godfrey, and Ignite Specialty Risk on the Agenda

The European edition of the premier global litigation finance conference series draws funders, disputes partners, general counsel, insurers, and institutional investors to the Rosewood Amsterdam.

HOUSTON, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LITFINCON Europe opens in three weeks at the Rosewood Amsterdam, bringing senior leaders from Burford Capital, Therium Capital Advisors, Susman Godfrey, CAC Specialty, Ignite Specialty Risk, WTW, and global institutional investors to Amsterdam on October 7–8 for two days focused on the rapidly evolving European legal finance market. VIP programming begins October 6, 2026, with a dinner at Rosewood Amsterdam and an Amsterdam canal cruise. It is the seventh edition of LITFINCON, the premier global conference series for the litigation finance industry, and the first held in Europe.

Litigation finance remains a relationship-driven market, where trust, judgment, and established counterparties often determine which opportunities receive capital.  LITFINCON is run by practitioners rather than event promoters. The series is organized by Siltstone Capital, an active investor in legal finance, and the Amsterdam program is intentionally structured to create meaningful interaction among decision-makers shaping the market. 

"Every deal in this industry starts with a conversation between people who trust each other," said Jim Batson, Chief Investment Officer, Legal Finance at Siltstone Capital. "We underwrite and deploy capital in this market ourselves, so we build the conference we would want to attend. The content matters, but relationships and introductions are what people take home."

On the Agenda

The 11-panel program focuses on several of the most consequential questions facing legal finance today: how European collective actions are being priced, where arbitration award enforcement is creating investable opportunities, how the Unified Patent Court is reshaping IP strategy, how artificial intelligence and technology are transforming litigation and legal finance, and how insurance is increasingly being used to structure and de-risk legal assets.

Networking programming includes a VIP dinner at the Rosewood Amsterdam and an Amsterdam canal cruise, and the inaugural European edition of Lunch, Law & Laughs with comedian Valeria Vulpe.
