Litigation finance explained
What is litigation funding?
A practical overview of how third-party funding works, what funders expect, and how it lets worthy claims proceed without draining a claimant’s capital.
An established part of the market
Litigation funding is a well-established feature of the Australian legal market. Funders can pay the costs of taking an action to hearing and may cover adverse costs if a case is unsuccessful, generally subject to an agreed legal budget.
The commercial model
In return, funders seek a commercial share of a successful recovery or judgment. If the claimant loses, the funder commonly bears the funded costs, with its expected return reflecting the risk taken.
What is normally required
A claimant usually needs a well-prepared legal brief outlining the action, damages and merits. Preparing this can be expensive, particularly before funding eligibility is known.
The problem we solve
Some genuinely good claims never proceed because of the upfront expense of determining whether an action is fundable and which funder is appropriate. That is precisely where we help.
