You’re deep into a particularly contentious dispute, the stakes are high, and you’re finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel. But then you discover, your opponent has run out of money. Suddenly, the prospect of recovering your legal costs, damages, or even reaching a sensible settlement seems to vanish overnight.
