Our investment criteria
The Legal Merits
- Although we are not restricted to a specific claim type, your claim must have a strong likelihood of success. Your application must be accompanied by an opinion of your prospects either from a suitable independent counsel or the instructed law firm
- We will undertake our own independent evaluation of your case to decide whether it meets our risk profile
Finances
- We will consider minimum investments of £500,000 and above, which can be spread across a number of claims or claimants in consumer or bulk matters
- There is no maximum investment
- Provable damages should be no less than 8x the size of our investment. Accordingly, we will not be able to consider claims with a quantum of less than £4m
Enforcement
- The opposing party must have the ability to pay and there must be a clear indication of recovering the damages
- The legal opinion that you provide regarding the legal merits of the case must also outline the route to enforcement and any associated risks
- We will undertake our own assessment before making an investment decision
