We provide non-recourse finance and strategic support for your litigation. You run your business.
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.
We provide litigation finance to businesses, entrepreneurs, investors and shareholders – some well-resourced, others facing capital constraints, often as a direct result of the conduct of their counterparty to a commercial claim.
Litigation finance provides accounting benefits, taking litigation costs off the balance sheet and increasing underlying earnings.

Patrick Crisp from our Sydney office has moderated Episode 11 of the Association of Litigation Funders of Australia (AALF) Webinar Series. This episode, titled The Global Market for ATE Insurance in 2024, brings together industry leaders to discuss the evolving trends and challenges in After-the-Event (ATE) insurance.
Robert Rothkopf provided a funder’s view on group and class action proceedings in the UK for the Houthoff Class Action Survey 2024. The survey offers perspectives on class action trends in 12 jurisdictions.
Robert’s predictions for the future of class actions in the UK included the expansion of claim types that will be permitted under the opt-out jurisdiction, and confirmation of the court’s jurisdiction to order defendants to pay litigation funding costs on top of damages where defendant wrongdoing and/or litigation conduct is egregious, instead of claimant’s meeting funding costs from compensation.
Thanks to Houthoff for their initiative in leading this important research.
