Commercial litigation finance in California.

Permitted — well established

Financing requests for California businesses and law firms pursuing breach of contract, fraud, shareholder, and business tort claims, evaluated on court records.

Funding Posture

California is the largest and most active litigation finance market in the United States. The state does not maintain a champerty prohibition, and commercial litigation funding is well established. Criterica Capital prepares financing requests for consideration by independent capital providers, with attention to the applicable professional-responsibility rules.

California Commercial Litigation Market

Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, and the Bay Area form the nation's deepest commercial legal market. California leads in technology and IP-adjacent commercial disputes, venture and shareholder litigation, entertainment and media contract disputes, and complex business fraud claims arising from the state's concentration of technology, entertainment, and finance sectors.
