Litigation-Financing Firms to Battle in Arbitration Over Alleged Trade Secrets and Breach of Contract Violations

The Texas Business Court last week began hearing arguments in a dispute between litigation finance company Siltstone Capital and Manmeet Walia, who left Siltstone and started a new company, Signal Peak Partners. 

Walia, a former lawyer at Susman Godfrey, started working at Houston-based Siltstone as general counsel in 2015 and left in May as general counsel and managing partner.
