Litigation Finance Demystified

---

litigation finance occurs when a litigation funder agrees to pay the costs of pursuing a legal claim in return for a share of any recovery obtained through settlement or adjudication.

A funder may also agree to pay other costs associated with the claim, or taking a “After-The-Event” (ATE) insurance to cover an opponent’s legal costs if the case loses.

Under most litigation finance arrangements, funds are advanced by litigation funding firms on a non-recourse basis. If there is no recovery of proceeds through settlement or adjudication, the claimant owes the funder nothing.

Litigation funding (or “litigation finance”) restores the precious balance to commercial and tax disputes, allowing litigants to obtain results that properly reflect the merits of the case rather than being forced to compromise on sub-optimal terms by a better-resourced opponent.

Litigation funding promotes access to justice and is supported by the Indian judiciary. Litigation funding in is a well-established tool.
