The use of outside capital in the legal industry is becoming increasingly widespread in Australia. Companies and law firms alike are using litigation funding to conserve their capital and to invest in growth.
Litigation funding (also called legal finance or litigation finance) is commonly used to remove the costs of pursuing commercial litigation or arbitration, such as legal fees and expenses. Increasingly, companies and law firms use legal finance to accelerate a portion of the expected entitlement of pending claims, judgments, awards or fees. In both cases, a third-party funder assumes downside risk of loss in exchange for a portion of the ultimate recovery. Financing does not impact control, which remains with the client, and it can be provided for a single commercial matter or for multiple matters.
From GCs and CFOs to insolvency practitioners, arbitration lawyers and asset managers, legal and finance professionals across industries as well as law firms are using litigation funding to conserve their capital and to invest in growth.
