Third Party Funding: India’s Framework and Global Standards

🎯 Excited to share my latest publication: “Third Party Funding: India’s Framework and Global Standards” in the Indian Journal of Law and Legal Research (Volume VII, Issue V)!

As international arbitration costs continue to rise, Third-Party Funding (TPF) has emerged as a game-changer—democratizing access to justice while raising critical questions about transparency, conflicts of interest, and procedural integrity.

Key highlights from my research:

✅ Analysis of TPF’s evolution from common law jurisdictions to its emerging presence in India ✅ Examination of alternative funding models—from insurance to portfolio funding ✅ Critical review of disclosure obligations and ethical frameworks ✅ Comparative study of global best practices (Singapore, Hong Kong, England) vs. India’s current landscape ✅ Insights from the Ciarb Guidelines 2025 and landmark case law

The bottom line: While TPF offers tremendous potential for access to justice, India urgently needs comprehensive regulatory frameworks that balance innovation with arbitral integrity.

India’s journey from champerty prohibitions to embracing modern funding mechanisms will be crucial for our competitiveness in the international arbitration arena.

Would love to hear your thoughts on how TPF is reshaping dispute resolution!
