Compare ^{Litigation Funding} Options For £400k Claims

Commercial litigation funding is designed for SMEs encountering significant disputes such as breaches of contract, shareholder disagreements, or intellectual property claims. Approval is based on case merit and value, and funding usually covers all legal costs through the case’s duration. Typical costs are 20% to 40% of the eventual settlement, with assessment and offer timeframes ranging from four to eight weeks, depending on the complexity involved.

Designed for commercial disputes in arbitration settings, this funding helps cover the costs tied directly to the arbitration process. The funder assesses the merits and potential value before finalising terms, which are set as a proportion of any awarded amount (20% to 35%). Decisions typically take 4 to 12 weeks and are influenced by the case’s complexity and need for prior legal advice.

Portfolio funding aggregates multiple cases under one financial arrangement, enabling firms to access larger sums while spreading risk across their entire litigation portfolio. This model suits large firms or corporations with several concurrent or future claims. Assessment and approval cover all cases together, typically taking 8 to 16 weeks, with funding rates set between 15% and 30% of proceeds.
