Funding Disputes

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.

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.

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).

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.
