On Thursday March 24th Xandra Kramer and Jos Hoevenaars attended a seminar organised in conjunction with claim organisation ClaimShare in Amsterdam. This seminar brought together professionals in the field collective actions, including lawyers, so-called claim foundations, as well as commercial litigation funders. Among others there was a presentation by Jeremy Lieberman (Pomerantz LLP) on experiences in the US. Xandra gave a presentation on the current state of litigation funding in the Netherlands and introduced the WODC research that she and Jos are conducting for the WODC on the need for a (public) fund for collective redress (see this earlier post). As such the seminar also served as the informal kick-off for that research effort.
