Traditional hourly rate retainer models do not always align with the commercial realities facing businesses and individuals in dispute. Businesses need funding solutions that support their strategic objectives, protect their balance sheets, and transfer risk intelligently. Individuals need funding solutions that remove the financial barrier to resolving their dispute and provide certainty. We understand that the question isn't simply whether to pursue a dispute, but how to fund it in a way that makes commercial and economic sense. That's why we've built our practice around financial innovation, not formulaic billing.
Whether you're an individual navigating a claim or a business managing dispute-related risk, we create bespoke funding strategies that are tailored to the specific commercial and strategic context of your case.
For us, funding disputes means solving financial puzzles. It means applying commercial sensitivity. It means total commitment to finding the right solution.
Flexible fee structures
We regularly act on the basis of conditional fee agreements and damages based agreements, whether independently or in conjunction with third party funding arrangements. These structures allow us to align with our clients' objectives, sharing risk in a manner that reflects the commercial realities of each dispute. Our experience in deploying these mechanisms – both as standalone solutions and as components of broader funding packages – means we can structure arrangements that provide flexibility and risk transfer.
Comprehensive insurance solutions
We have in-depth knowledge of the full range of insurance solutions available to support dispute funding, including after-the-event insurance for own costs and adverse costs protection. We have established relationships with specialist brokers and insurance providers who structure policies that integrate seamlessly with broader funding arrangements, according to the specific requirements of the dispute.
Third party litigation funding
We maintain strong, longstanding relationships with leading third party litigation funders; we actively explore opportunities with emerging funders; all of which means our clients benefit from the most competitive terms and innovative structures on the market. Our expertise encompasses the full funding lifecycle – from identifying and securing optimal terms, to structuring tailored funding packages, to managing funder relationships dynamically throughout the dispute (ensuring the arrangement continues to deliver value as circumstances evolve).
Integrating funding strategy with dispute strategy
The right funding strategy transforms how disputes can be pursued. We structure arrangements that eliminate upfront cost concerns, transfer risk appropriately, and ensure that financial considerations support rather than dictate strategic decision-making.
