PART I.  THE THIRD-PARTY FUNDING LANDSCAPE

1.   The TPF market in Florida

1.1.  Please shortly describe the TPF market in your Jurisdiction.

The TPF market in Florida is part of the broader U.S. market, and funders from other jurisdictions (especially the United Kingdom) are also active.  To avoid duplication with the U.S. Country Report, this report will focus on topics where the answer for Florida is distinct from the general U.S. trend.

1.2.  Is it dominated by local or international Funders? Which Funders are active? Which cases typically get funded?

In the absence of publicly available information, it is not possible to answer these questions with a high degree of confidence.  However, with respect to international arbitration in Florida, it appears that non-local funders are more active than local ones.

1.3.  What types of funding exist (e.g., ISDS, Commercial Arbitration, portfolio funding, respondent-side funding etc.)?

All of these are potentially available.

1.4.  Is there any directory on available Funders?

Not one specific to Florida.

1.5.  Are there any funding brokers active in your Jurisdiction?

Yes, both brokers and funders are active in Florida.
