Collective actions and litigation funding and the impact on securities claims: a global snapshot
A new report from Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) in collaboration with Clyde & Co examines the spread of collective

recent times they have spread throughout the globe, driven by a combination of corporate scandals, legislative reform and
a developing appetite for litigation outside of traditional markets like the US.
