European Union

European litigation finance anchored in the Netherlands.

Commercial litigation and international arbitration funding across the EU. Netherlands as primary jurisdiction, with active presence in Germany and France.

The EU litigation finance market is maturing rapidly. Criterica Capital operates selectively — anchored in jurisdictions where regulatory frameworks support institutional capital deployment.

EU Markets
Primary
Netherlands
Primary EU jurisdiction. Amsterdam is the preferred seat for international arbitration and cross-border commercial disputes. Dutch litigation finance regulation is the most established in the EU.
Active
Germany
Active commercial litigation and arbitration market. DIS arbitration proceedings. Law firm capital available for German plaintiff firms in mass claims and class action structures.
Selective
France

All EU
International Arbitration
ICC, LCIA, SCC, AAA/ICDR arbitration proceedings seated in EU jurisdictions. Criterica Capital funds claimant positions in international arbitration across all EU member states.
EU Regulatory Environment

EU member states have divergent litigation finance regulatory frameworks. The Netherlands has the most developed legal infrastructure for third-party funding, making it Criterica Capital's primary EU anchor.

The European Parliament's proposed litigation finance regulation (EPLA) remains under discussion. Criterica Capital monitors the legislative process and structures EU vehicles to be compliant under any plausible regulatory outcome.

International arbitration seated in EU jurisdictions — ICC in Paris, DIS in Germany, Netherlands Arbitration Institute — represents the clearest path to scalable EU deployment under existing frameworks.
