European investor litigation must grow to serve its purpose

In a new piece for Funds Europe, Caroline Goodman explores the growth of investor litigation across the UK and Europe, and how we can ensure the market continues to serve its intended purpose.

Caroline considers the risks of growth driven by volume rather than investor outcomes, and outlines what a well-functioning litigation market should deliver: fair recovery, improved corporate governance, and better long-term outcomes for investors.

She also highlights the structural differences between the UK/European and US markets, and the opportunity this presents to build a more disciplined and investor-aligned approach.
