Litigation Funding
Funding that removes financial barriers to justice
Litigation funding is capital provided to a party to pursue a legal claim, recovered only from the success of that claim. It lets those with a strong case pursue it without bearing the full cost and risk alone.
What is litigation funding?
Litigation funding, sometimes called third-party funding, is capital provided to support a legal claim. In return, the funder shares in the proceeds that the claim recovers. If the claim is unsuccessful, the funder typically bears the loss rather than the party, subject to the terms of the funding agreement and any applicable court or regulatory approval.
It is not a loan secured against you or your assets. It is a form of risk sharing in which the funder's reward is tied to the outcome of the dispute.
What can our funding cover?
For matters we agree to fund, we may provide capital for the following categories of expense. Each funding is structured individually and documented in a written agreement:
- Solicitors' fees — the legal costs of your law firm.
- Counsel fees — including senior and junior barristers.
- Expert reports — independent financial, technical and valuation expertise.
- Court costs — filing fees, disbursements and adverse costs exposure where agreed.
- Approved disbursements — other litigation-related spending approved under the agreement.

What you should know
Seek independent legal advice
We are a funder, not a law firm. We do not give legal advice, and we encourage you to obtain independent legal advice before entering into any funding arrangement.
Funding is case-specific
Every matter is assessed individually. Funding terms, scope, budget and approvals vary according to the claim and are set out in a written agreement.
Regulatory context
Funding arrangements are governed by Australian law and the relevant regulatory framework, including, in certain cases, approval by a court or regulator.
No guarantee of outcome
Funding approval does not guarantee the success of your claim. Court proceedings carry inherent risk, and outcomes cannot be assured.
