CoStar Group, Inc., et al.

IN RE: CoStar Group, Inc., et al., Antitrust Litigation is the newest docket in this group, centralized in the Eastern District of Virginia on 2026-08-11 — just weeks before the JPML's September 2026 report date. With only 3 pending actions, this matter has not yet developed beyond its opening pleadings, and there is no public procedural history to draw on for funding purposes.

For a funder, a docket this new carries the maximum degree of duration and pricing uncertainty on the antitrust spectrum: no motion-to-dismiss ruling, no market-definition determination, and no indication yet of how many additional related actions might be tagged into the proceeding as it develops. The claimant pool composition (which businesses or individuals allege injury from the challenged conduct) is not yet established in the public record available here.

At this stage, the only responsible funding posture is to treat this as a matter to monitor rather than underwrite. Once the complaint's substance, defendant conduct theory, and claimant population are established through the litigation's normal early development, this would be evaluated under Criterica Capital's commercial litigation finance framework like any other antitrust matter. A structure and litigation brief will be more informative once the docket has developed a public procedural record.

Pre-settlement funding is a non-recourse purchase of a portion of the proceeds of a pending legal claim — not a loan. If the case does not result in a recovery, nothing is owed. Rates, fees, and repayment terms are disclosed in full in the funding agreement, which the applicant’s attorney reviews before signing. Availability and terms vary by state.
