Fees & expenses finance (also called litigation funding) is used to pay the costs of pending commercial litigation and arbitration claims.
Businesses work with Burford to fund law firm fees and litigation-related expenses for commercial litigation and arbitration claims. Fees & expenses financing shifts the cost and risk of pending disputes from businesses to Burford, transforming claims from burdensome expenses into assets with upside potential.
