Litigation funding in London: strong claims, properly financed.
Non-recourse capital that meets legal costs in exchange for a share of proceeds. London is the global centre of litigation finance; we broker access to the funders behind it, for claimants and law firms.
Why claimants use funding
Litigation costs money precisely when a dispute is already draining it. Funding moves the cost and much of the risk off your balance sheet: if the claim fails, a true non-recourse funder is not repaid. Businesses use it to pursue meritorious claims without starving operations of working capital; law firms use portfolio facilities to offer clients sharper terms.

Getting a claim funded
Funders in London see far more claims than they finance, and presentation decides which ones get attention. We prepare the funding case: merits summary from counsel, realistic quantum, enforcement analysis and a budget the funder can underwrite, then approach the funders whose mandate actually fits the claim's size, sector and jurisdiction.
Terms vary widely: multiples of capital, percentage of proceeds or hybrids, with real differences in priority and control. Because we compare structures across funders, the economics still make sense when you win.
Frequently asked
What does litigation funding cost?
Funders are typically repaid a multiple of capital deployed or a percentage of proceeds, agreed up front and payable only from a successful outcome. We negotiate structures so the claimant keeps the majority of any award.
What size of claim can be funded?
Most commercial funders look for realistic claim values from around £3m to £5m upwards, with costs budgets proportionate to quantum. Smaller claims can sometimes be funded within portfolios.
Is the funding really non-recourse?
With true litigation funders, yes: if the claim fails, the funder loses its capital and you owe nothing. ATE insurance can also cover adverse costs risk, and we arrange it alongside the funding.
