Legal Funding Journal’s Post

Here's the latest in Emily Siegel's insightful articles on recent issues experienced by some funders. Duration risk is clearly a big part of this discussion; some funders did not estimate this correctly when making investor pitches a few years back and are now feeling the consequences. Well-packaged and advised cases that address duration risk along with structured case budgets, damages evaluation, routes to recovery etc- with predictive analytics where possible- are ultimately those which will deliver the best investor returns. In conjunction with the above, funds need to be structured properly. They need adequate human resources for the capital they are managing but they also need to get clever about outsourcing and using technology to improve efficiency and speed of execution. Funds with unnecessary headcount and poorly managed origination (e.g Augusta, which Emily Siegel references) will always struggle in this market. LexShares abandoning its capital raise, cutting staff, and changing its CEO on several occasions, hardly inspires confidence. Perhaps this is all just survival of the fittest but you can't help but think that some of the damage could have been avoided with more prudent planning and a better understanding of the market. #litigationfinance #litigationfunding #legalfinance #thirdpartyfunding #lawfirm https://lnkd.in/ggHzuDBM

Litigation Funding - Attracting Diverse Funding Sources The litigation funding arena has seen a surge in diversity among funding sources. Beyond specialised litigation finance firms, institutional investors and alternative capital providers have entered the market in force. Institutional investors such as pension funds, hedge funds, and private equity firms are finding appeal in litigation finance as an alternative asset class. Its potential for uncorrelated returns with traditional investments is drawing substantial capital from these large-scale investors. This influx is driving larger fund sizes and more substantial investments in the industry. Additionally, the lack of correlation between litigation finance returns and broader financial markets can make it an attractive inclusion in diversified investment portfolios. This unique characteristic has the potential to assist investors in mitigating risks linked to market volatility and economic downturns. Litigation Funding is an asset class worth investigating, and if you would like to learn more about the fundamentals of how this truly unique asset class works, please DM me.

I have written previously about the attractiveness of third-party portfolio funding for the private credit market. Essentially, if you have a well-structured, diversified portfolio (which is not always a straightforward process), you are moving the investor's risk away from binary risk to a much lower risk profile which still has attractive returns. There are good insights in this Private Debt Investor article from Zachary Krug of NorthWall Capital and Brandon Baer of Contingency Capital LLC. Please contact me about how best to put together portfolios which are attractive to these and other investors. #thirdpartyfunding #litigationfunding #litigationfinance #lawfirm #litigation #arbitration https://lnkd.in/gE6uF-Wk

Have you ever wanted to ask questions about litigation funding but you were afraid to raise them? If you don't know: - what litigation finance is, - how to tackle the topic of third-party funding, - whether your case is good for funding and how to prepare for it, - how to deal with investors, I'm more than happy to discuss these topics with you. Advisor’s real value lies in connections, with access to more information, more investors, and more funding companies than a client would have by randomly googling it. The good ones spend time developing relationships with investors and funders to get a feel for their funding requirements: which funders welcome claims from particular jurisdictions, which investors prefer what types of cases, and who has the lowest fees. Contact me if you have any questions about the third-party funding. #litigationfunding #litigationfinance #thirdpartyfunding #legalcosts #arbitrationcosts #disputeresolution
