Situations We Handle
Litigation and Fraud Investigations
Complex fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and financial misconduct matters requiring sustained capital through discovery-intensive litigation. We fund plaintiffs and law firms pursuing institutional defendants with strong documented claims.
Mergers and Acquisitions Disputes
Post-closing disputes, representations and warranties breaches, earnout litigation, and deal-related indemnification claims. M&A disputes often involve large recovery potential and sophisticated counsel well-suited to our underwriting process.
Spinoffs and Stock Buybacks
Shareholder litigation arising from corporate transactions including spinoffs, reverse mergers, going-private transactions, and stock buyback programs. We evaluate corporate governance and securities claims with institutional recovery profiles.
Restructuring and Turnaround
Capital for plaintiffs and claimants navigating complex corporate restructurings. Includes breach of contract claims against companies in or approaching insolvency, vendor disputes, and professional liability matters arising from restructuring processes.
Distressed Debt and Credit Disputes
Litigation by creditors, bondholders, and note holders in contested debt situations. We fund creditor-side litigation including lender liability, covenant disputes, and intercreditor claims in distressed credit situations.
Bankruptcy Adversary Proceedings
Funding for creditors pursuing preference actions, fraudulent transfer claims, and adversary proceedings within or related to bankruptcy cases. Our team has experience with complex multi-party bankruptcy disputes across state and federal venues.
Board and Management Disputes
Minority shareholder actions, breach of fiduciary duty claims against directors and officers, and derivative litigation against corporate management. Includes claims arising from board decisions, management buyouts, and governance failures.
Shareholder Activism and Appraisal
Appraisal rights litigation, activist shareholder disputes, and related corporate governance claims. We evaluate appraisal actions and activist-driven litigation with strong technical merit and defined recovery paths.
High-Value Personal Injury
Catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and serious tort claims with anticipated recoveries above standard consumer funding thresholds. We provide custom advance structures for high-value plaintiff matters with qualified trial counsel.
Portfolio Funding Packages
Law firms seeking capital across multiple cases simultaneously. Single-agreement structures, portfolio-level pricing, and consolidated underwriting for attorneys with large books of qualifying plaintiff matters.
International Arbitration
ICSID, ICC, and AAA arbitration matters with strong jurisdictional profiles. We fund claimants in investor-state and commercial arbitration proceedings requiring sustained capital through extended proceedings.
Expedited Review
Cases requiring capital on a compressed timeline. We offer expedited review for time-sensitive situations where standard underwriting timelines are not viable. Senior underwriter engagement from day one.
Our Approach
Special situations require direct underwriter involvement from day one. We do not route complex matters through automated screening. A senior underwriter engages with your attorney directly.
Every special situation is evaluated on its merits. Case complexity is not disqualifying. Strong liability, qualified counsel, and clear recovery mechanics are what matter.
