Unlike some funders, we have delegated authority over the funds we manage and are not beholden to a distant investment committee at another institution. When you deal with us, you deal with the decision makers.
We make a litigation finance proposal more quickly than other funders because we have an experienced team, internal due diligence capabilities and a collaborative approach.
We can bring a fresh view on litigation strategy to the case, with over 100 years of litigation experience.
We provide finance that is tailored to your dispute and your requirements. We offer full or partial legal fee funding, and disbursement-only funding arrangements. We can invest at any stage of the dispute.
Law firms operate in a fiercely competitive environment characterised by increasing client demands and downward pressure on legal fees.
Clients now expect their lawyers to be involved in arranging litigation finance.
Insolvent entities may have valuable claims but not the resources to pursue them.
We provide insolvency practitioners with our litigation finance to pay the litigation costs and in some cases other costs of the liquidation, such as liquidator fees, to help recover proceeds for creditors that would otherwise be lost.
The challenge of managing tighter legal budgets and the rising costs of pursuing claims require business leaders to think differently about litigation.
Increasing numbers of general counsel and finance directors are turning to litigation finance as a way to fund valuable commercial claims, usually on a non-recourse basis.
Capital allocation constraints in private equity, venture capital and corporate venturing can leave valuable commercial claims unfunded in portfolio companies.
Use our litigation funding to de-risk the litigation and our team’s expertise to boost your litigation strategy, all the while protecting capital ratios and eliminating “above the line” litigation expenses.
Our team comprises leading litigation experts in both the UK and Australia where we focus our litigation investments.
