Our approach

Funding that fits the matter.

Wild Dog advises claimants, law firms, insolvency practitioners and holders of legal assets on litigation funding, ATE insurance and structured legal capital.

We help clarify what is needed, prepare the commercial proposition, engage suitable providers and work through the proposed terms.

For funders and investors, our work also covers capital raising, secondary transactions and participation in legal assets. Each engagement starts with a defined mandate and clear responsibilities.

Start with what you need to achieve

You may need capital to pursue a claim, protection against adverse costs, funding for a portfolio or access to value tied up in a judgment or legal receivable.

Each objective calls for a different assessment. We start with the asset, the capital required, the risks to be addressed and the timing of the decision. This gives the process a clear purpose and helps identify the options worth pursuing.

How we work with you

Prepare a clear commercial proposition

Your legal team provides the legal analysis and strategy. Wild Dog helps connect that work with the budget, likely duration, route to recovery and funding requirement. We identify gaps that need attention before approaching providers, helping them assess the opportunity and the questions that need resolving.

Anchoring or Drifting? Who Owns the Course?

Engage suitable providers

Providers differ in the matters they consider, the capital they can commit and the risks they will accept. We help identify suitable providers, present the opportunity and coordinate discussions and due-diligence requests. Where insurance is relevant, we help define the exposure and facilitate discussions with appropriate providers.

Compare and progress the terms

We help compare proposals and negotiate commercial terms, working through outstanding commercial questions as diligence and documentation progress. Your legal advisers assess the legal issues and review the agreements.

The Terms Must Survive the Outcome

Understand what the terms mean for you

The value of a funding proposal depends on how it works over the life of the matter.

How much capital is committed? When can it be drawn? What happens if costs increase, proceedings take longer or the recovery is lower than expected? Who receives payment first, and what remains for the client?

We examine those questions alongside funding returns, insurance costs and continuing obligations. This helps you assess whether a proposal supports the matter and leaves a commercially worthwhile outcome across realistic scenarios.

Clear responsibilities from the outset

Wild Dog is an independent adviser and broker. Funding and underwriting decisions sit with the relevant providers.

We agree the scope of our work, responsibilities and authority to approach providers before the engagement proceeds.

In Litigation, Wanting to Be Right Is Not the Same as Wanting the Right Outcome
