Educating the Legal Community About Commercial Legal Finance

Matt Blumenstein and Stewart Ackerly Participate in CLEs

March 29, 2023

Statera’s Chambers-ranked team recently participated in several CLEs on commercial legal finance alongside leading lawyers and fellow funders. 

Matt Blumenstein, Statera’s Head of Underwriting, participated in a CLE with Scott Humphrey, a partner at Benesch, that was organized by LawPractice CLE.  The course provides an overview of commercial litigation finance, including how financing works, best practices, and ethical and regulatory considerations.   A link to the webinar is below.  It qualifies for CLE credit in most states.

Stewart Ackerly, Statera’s Head of Originations, was a panelist on Financial Poise’s 2023 Commercial Litigation Funding webinar series.  Stewart joined fellow panelists Jeff Lula (GLS Capital) and Jeremy Waitzman (Much Shelist) in a discussion moderated by Jonathan Friedland (Much Shelist) in Part 1 of the series.  The webinar focused on providing an overview of commercial litigation finance generally, touching on the “who,” “what,” “where,” “when,” “why,” and “how’s” behind litigation funding. 

The webinar, co-produced with West LegalEdcenter, is available on demand at the below link and qualifies for CLE credit in most states.  Statera’s Chip Hodgkins and Andy Woltman are scheduled to participate in Parts 2 and 3 of Financial Poise’s Commercial Litigation Funding webinar series later this year.
