legal finance

Get a fundamental understanding of this growing industry and the solutions it can offer to businesses, law firms, and investors.

Who uses Litigation funding?
Businesses

Companies use litigation funding to pay for the costs of litigation, reduce risk, and use their capital more efficiently. By eliminating the need to pay lawyers and freeing up funds that would have otherwise been locked into claims processes that can last years, businesses can increase liquidity and reduce their risks by guaranteeing minimum returns from legal cases.

Law firms

Law firms use litigation funding to offer flexible terms to clients, manage cash flow, and reduce risk exposure for case losses. Funding allows them to accept new business and expand practice areas.

Individuals

Individuals use litigation funding to pursue claims that would otherwise be unaffordable, gaining access to justice and expert support for their cases.
