About
Provided by KRD Kirsten. Risk & Disputes
KRD Kirsten. Risk & Disputes is an award-winning boutique law firm founded by Dr. Stefan Kirsten. Celebrated as “one of the best funders” and “a real stand-out name” who is actively “pushing boundaries in the field”, Stefan is widely recognised as a global thought leader in legal finance.
Having practiced in one of the world’s foremost litigation and arbitration groups for many years, he was among the first seasoned counsel to advise on third-party funding of disputes in continental Europe. He then continued to build from scratch the German and Nordic operations of a now top-ranked litigation funder and subsequently headed its global origination activities before returning to private practice.
At KRD, Stefan and his team now blend their passions for high-end dispute resolution and legal finance advisory – to offer their clients the best of both worlds.
