Portfolio finance in California.

Permitted — well established

Portfolio-level financing requests for California case inventories (revolving facilities, portfolio purchases, NAV lending, and co-investment), evaluated on court records.

Funding Posture

California is the largest and most active market in the country for portfolio-level litigation finance. The state does not maintain a champerty prohibition, and revolving credit facilities, portfolio purchases, and NAV-based lending against California case inventories are well established. Criterica Capital prepares financing requests for consideration by independent capital providers, with attention to the applicable professional-responsibility rules.

California Legal Market

Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, and the Bay Area anchor the deepest case-inventory base in the country. High-volume mass tort and wildfire dockets, employment and PAGA class action caseloads, IP and technology litigation portfolios, and consumer class action inventories give California firms some of the largest and most diversifiable case inventories available for portfolio-level facilities.
