Burford’s Andrew Cohen writes for Law360 how recent NY court decision is correct in ruling legal finance documents undiscoverable
- Case law & ethics
Burford Director Andrew Cohen writes for Law360 how a recent decision from the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, Appellate Division, First Department, "is noteworthy as the latest instance of a court ruling that the details of legal finance agreements are generally not relevant or discoverable."
Cohen adds that the ruling in Worldview Entertainment Holdings Inc. v. Woodrow "reflects a growing trend of courts recognizing that legal finance does not merit a special set of rules and should not be the subject of additional disclosure.”
