Australian Market Context

Australia is the second most active litigation finance market globally. The class action regime under Part IVA of the Federal Court Act creates strong structural demand for third-party funding in complex plaintiff proceedings.

ASIC RG 248 establishes the regulatory framework for litigation funders. The managed investment scheme requirements apply to funded proceedings.

Our outcome models are trained on legal data, including NSW and Federal Court of Australia cases — the two primary sources of publicly available Australian court data. 14 ElevenLabs-deployed Australian jurisdiction agents support in-territory legal intelligence.

How We Underwrite

Every financing request Criterica Capital prepares is evaluated against outcomes, not collateral. Our models are trained on real court records across US federal courts, state courts, and international jurisdictions.

We assess jurisdiction-level recovery rates, case-type outcome distributions, time-to-resolution curves, and attorney performance history before a request is prepared for independent capital providers.
