IMPACT LITIGATION FINANCING
Creating a Level Battlefield
Our fathers didn’t create a legal system to create highly paid jobs.
Justice is one of the most vital fabrics of human societies. It is one of the most important moral values in the spheres of law and politics. Legal and political systems that maintain law and order are desirable, but they cannot accomplish either unless they also achieve justice. Nonetheless, we live in a world where access to justice often relies on access to capital.
Justice is getting more and more expensive. Many lawyers that used to take contingency- based cases are less willing to do so as the cost of losing can be relatively high. Most plaintiffs face insurmountable legal challenges due to a lack of financial resources and find themselves unable to receive the justice they deserve, regardless of their claims’ merits. The reality of ever-rising litigation costs often provides well-capitalized defendants with an overpowering weapon: financial asymmetry.
Our Solution
Litigation financing offers a powerful solution to these challenges–one that redistributes legal risk and equalizes plaintiff bargaining power. At a basic level, litigation financing is the practice where a third party unrelated to the lawsuit provides capital to a plaintiff involved in litigation to help improve the chances for a favourable outcome. In the event of a successful settlement or judgment, the funder receives a portion of any recovery from the lawsuit. Plaintiffs often need a partner to help monetize the outcome of their claims to afford all of the associated costs. Litigation financing products enable just that, making justice more accessible to undercapitalized claimants while providing a more efficient means of sharing risk.
