Our Approach
We look for good risks, not ways to sell products.
We listen to our clients, not tell them what we need.
We do not state the price but explain the risk-adjusted returns it reflects.
We do not play games but talk with transparency and candour.
We do not serve institutional investors nor rely on their fees.
We earn the trust of our clients, not expect it.
Think Outside the Box
We believe solutions start, not with a product, but with an open mind and deep intellectual rigour, boldly imagining the realms of the possible, then executing with precision and care.
Relentless Purpose
Finding solutions can be as difficult as mining a precious gem. This is why we are persistent, patient and bring a relentless drive to dig through layers of innate resistance and entrenched convention to find the right solution.
Understanding Our Unique Approach
Initial contact
Get in touch by phone, through our website or through your lawyer or broker (which we would recommend using).
Conflict check / NDA – target 2-24 hrs
A swift conflict check is run and NDA put in place if required.
Initial assessment – target 5 days
An initial assessment is conducted, following which our preliminary thoughts are shared. If we intend to pursue matters, we will clearly set out next steps and expected timelines.
Deep-dive assessment – target 2 weeks
The longest part of the process, involving due diligence queries and (ideally) a single call across all legal and commercial aspects of the case.
Indicative terms – target 2 days
Funding documentation - target 2 weeks
Our template documentation is publicly available, so documentation discussions can begin without delay and execution can occur promptly.
Case monitoring
We do not get involved in the running of the cases we fund but receive monthly updates and prompt notice of other material developments.
Conclusion
If a case loses, we lose our investment. If the case wins, our capital and returns are paid out of the recovered amounts.
Infrastructure and Strength
We have a robust infrastructure to support the needs of a specialist litigation finance business with the financial support and experience of a multi-billion AUM alternatives investment manager, so we can focus on serving our market.
Speed and Efficiency
Our standards are benchmarked against financial services businesses. Be commercially minded; always look for the solution; be prompt in responding; be detailed in feedback, and get business done or move on.
Working with independent advisers, brokers and law firms
We receive and welcome applications from law firms looking for legal finance on behalf of their clients.
We are also supportive of applications received through insurance and finance brokers, appreciating the value they can bring to the process.
Brokers and advisers help law firms assemble and present the appropriate information in ways that maximise swift and positive outcomes. They help consolidate all communications and queries across multiple parties, and in doing so, get the best possible deals in the market place for both insurance and funding.
As investors, we strive to win business but also firmly believe in free market rules: seeking to win business because of the quality of what we provide, rather than through restrictive market practices.
