Litigation Funding Made Simple

 

Litigation funding gives you the financial backing to pursue your claim with confidence. It covers your legal fees, expert reports and all key litigation costs—with no upfront payment required. You only repay the funder if your case is successful.

If the case is lost, the funder absorbs the cost. If you win, the funder takes back their investment plus an agreed success fee, ensuring you retain the majority of your damages.

Funding is especially valuable when facing a well-resourced opponent. It helps level the playing field, protects you from being pressured into early settlement, and allows you to focus on securing the outcome you deserve. For businesses, it also provides an off-balance-sheet solution that reduces budget strain and financial risk.

 

What Makes a Case Fundable?

 

Strong Merits

Funders look for cases with clear prospects of success, supported by evidence and expert opinion.

 

Proportionate Costs
A detailed costs budget helps funders assess whether projected legal spend is proportionate to the value of the claim.

 

Recoverable Damages
A creditworthy defendant—whether through assets or insurance—improves the likelihood of recovery and strengthens the funding proposition.

 

Experienced Legal Team
Funders expect your solicitors and counsel to have the right expertise for your type of case. If you need recommendations, our team can help.
