and Litigation Funding
WARSAW 4 JUNE 2027

The conference
Collective redress and litigation funding are at the forefront of legal transformation in Europe. Driven by the implementation of the EU Representative Actions Directive and landmark cases in competition, securities, and consumer law, Central and Eastern Europe is emerging as a key arena for class actions and mass claims. Organised by Bearstone, a commercial intelligence and business advisory firm, this conference is the region’s first dedicated forum bringing together practitioners, funders, corporates, regulators, and academics to examine how these developments are reshaping the legal and commercial landscape in CEE.
Held in Warsaw, Collective Redress & Litigation Funding CEE is a focused, high-level event spotlighting evolving legal frameworks, litigation funding models, and sector-specific trends including ESG, competition, and securities litigation. Through expert panels and discussions, the conference will explore practical challenges, emerging strategies, and the future positioning of CEE markets in this fast-moving field.
