Funding guides
Funding Guides for Cases, Firms and Receivables
Each guide starts from what the reader is trying to do, then shows what the funder reads and how the request is prepared from court records and private settlement data. Independent funders each decide on their own.
Commercial litigation fundingA commercial claim is funded on its merits, its defendant and its damages. The request is the document that lets a funder judge all three quickly.IP litigation fundingAn IP claim turns on the strength of the right, the damages theory and the court. A funder reads those in a fixed order, and the request should make each one easy to find.Legal capital for law firmsA contingency fee firm carries its cases at its own cost until they resolve. Legal capital moves that cost onto the docket, and the docket is what the funder reads.Medical lien fundingA provider treating on a lien is paid when the patient’s case resolves. Medical lien funding brings some of that payment forward, and the funder reads the case behind the lien.Selling personal injury receivablesA book of personal injury receivables is worth what its cases are worth and when they resolve. The buyer reads the book case by case, so the book should be prepared that way.Mass tort financingA mass tort inventory is funded as a portfolio and read as a docket: the litigation, the court, the stage and the firm’s share. The request should describe all four.Qui tam litigation fundingA qui tam case is brought by a relator on the government’s behalf. It follows its own calendar, and a funder reads that calendar before it reads the allegations.Structured settlement fundingA structured settlement pays over time. Structured settlement funding is any arrangement that turns some of those future payments into money now, and it is regulated for the recipient’s protection.Non-recourse litigation fundingNon-recourse means repayment comes only from the recovery of the funded case. That puts the risk on the funder, which is why the funder reads the case closely before it decides.How litigation funders evaluate a requestIndependent funders differ in mandate and appetite, and read a request in much the same order. Knowing that order is the fastest way to prepare one.Cross-border litigation fundingWhen the claim is in one country and the defendant or its assets are in another, the funder reads the forum and the route to enforcement as closely as the merits.
