The Third-Party Funding

Online Observatory

The Third Party Funding Online Observatory (the “TPF Observatory”) is an online repository and research resource established to systematically study and keep track of the rapid development of third party funding in international arbitration and litigation.

The TPF Observatory aims to provide a permanent and constantly updated database and repository for various parties interested in third party funding, and to stay on the cutting edge of the rapidly evolving landscape of third party funding in all of its practical, commercial, academic and policy aspects.

This website aims to be the leading website for comprehensive and up-to-date information relating to third party funding for all interested parties, including users (commercial parties), providers (funders), academics, practitioners, government bodies, and others.

The TPF Observatory is an initiative of the ICCA-Queen Mary Task Force on Third Party Funding, and is supported by the International Council for Commercial Arbitration (ICCA) and the Queen Mary University of London.
