Funder & Investor Advisory

For litigation funders

Capital raising

Capital needs to fit the funder’s investment strategy, deployment requirements and the time its investments may take to realise.

We help define the capital requirement, prepare the commercial proposition and identify prospective capital partners. We support discussions on structure and terms, and coordinate due diligence with the funder’s legal and other specialist advisers.

Secondary transactions

Selling all or part of an existing investment can provide liquidity or change portfolio exposure. The decision depends on the price, the rights transferred and the obligations and potential value retained.

We assist with potential sales of existing economic interests in funded matters or portfolios. Our work includes defining the interests offered, preparing transaction information, identifying potential purchasers and supporting discussions on terms.

For investors

Investment in legal assets

We help investors assess how to participate in legal assets against their objectives, available capital and preferred degree of involvement. This may involve:

• Through litigation funders: participation in funds or other investment vehicles managed by funders.
• Through syndications: participation alongside other capital providers in an identified matter or portfolio.
• Through direct investments: investment in an identified legal asset or portfolio through an agreed structure.

We help examine how capital is deployed, who makes decisions, the costs and risks the investor carries, and how recoveries are distributed. Depending on the mandate, we identify relevant opportunities and counterparties and coordinate commercial review and due diligence with the investor’s specialist advisers.
