Litigation funding
We advise on securing litigation funding for complex disputes, including cross-border, commercial litigation and cases of fraud. We evaluate funding risks and benefits, negotiating arrangements globally.
Our team has extensive experience of litigation funding in the UK and internationally. We assist clients in both the private and public sectors to obtain litigation funding for complex, high value claims. Most of these cases are cross jurisdictional in nature.
We have advised many clients on the benefits and risks of litigation funding in relation to their particular circumstances and negotiated funding arrangements that best suit our clients' needs.
Our work with funders covers a wide spectrum of disputes including various causes of action from breach of trust to fraudulent misappropriation; class action relating to data breaches, construction disputes, breaches of trust claims, group actions and a wide variety of commercial fraud cases.
The litigation funding market remains largely unregulated. In the UK, the main funders are members of the Association of Litigation Funders of England and Wales who have a voluntary code of conduct and self-regulate.
We have a long standing relationship with the Association in the UK, and with funders within the Association. We have also worked and continue to work with funders in other jurisdictions including the USA, Australia and the Middle East.
In brief
- Established track record working with the private and public sectors to obtain litigation funding for complex and high value claims
- Tried and tested experience of working with funders in more than one jurisdiction including the USA, Australia and the Middle East
- Covering a wide spectrum of disputes across industry sectors

Identifying RAAC and the potential issues facing your properties
In the late nineteenth century, a process was patented which used carbon dioxide to create an aerated ('fizzy') form of concrete. This was the genesis of the pre-cast panels, made from this substance's descendant (reinforced autoclaved, aerated concrete - RAAC), which were commonly used to construct the flat roofs and walls of many buildings between the mid-1950s and the mid-1990s. Although perhaps misleadingly christened 'concrete', the lightweight 'bubble-crete' lacks the coarse aggregate (stone) component of its namesake. This leaves it substantially weaker in comparison despite metallic reinforcements, which are comprised of steel bars extending the length of the planks that are locked in place by a series of perpendicular, transverse bars.
