Demotech and Business Insurance to Host Conference on Litigation Trends

Litigation financing and tech-enabled legal strategies are inflating insurance costs and reshaping claims settlements, according to industry analysts. On November 11, 2026, Demotech and Business Insurance will host a specialized conference at the Union Club of New York to examine these rising pressures on insurers and their policyholders.

Demotech president Joseph Petrelli, who identified the growth of third-party litigation funding in a 2022 research project, plans to detail how these models have altered the claims landscape since 2015. The event aims to dissect the influence of social media and artificial intelligence on the plaintiff bar’s approach to litigation.

Steve Acunto, publisher of Business Insurance, described the sessions as a critical examination of an evolving crisis. The seminar is designed for claims professionals, actuaries, and legal counsel who must navigate the shifting financial realities caused by these aggressive legal tactics. Registration details for the day-long program, which includes a luncheon, will be released in the coming weeks.
