Burford's Charles Griffin and Greg McPolin author an Insights piece for Bloomberg Law entitled "Legal Finance Is an Emergent Tool as Health-Care Industry Shifts."
As Griffin and McPolin write, "Rising costs and increasing consolidation within the US health-care system have created a challenging environment for providers and payors. These pressures are leading to a growing number of complex legal disputes, from payment disagreements to antitrust claims. Legal finance has become an essential tool for health-care companies seeking to manage litigation costs while pursuing their rights."
