More healthcare businesses are recognizing the value that legal finance provides in helping to mitigate the financial strain of high-cost litigation as well as to unlock capital tied up in high value claims. This includes the Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) antitrust litigation, for which a historic $2.8 billion settlement with providers was recently announced. With a deadline looming in early 2025 to decide whether they wish to pursue a larger recovery by opting out of the BCBS settlement and bringing a direct action, it’s imperative for hospital business leaders to be proactive in assessing their options.
This webcast gives hospital CFOs, GCs and other business leaders insights into the BCBS antitrust litigation and how they can use legal finance to maximize and accelerate their recoveries from this and other high value matters. It brings together a senior litigator from a leading law firm and investment professionals from the world’s leading provider of legal finance.
The webcast will take place at 12:00PM EST | 5:00PM GMT.
