Fund Your Case.
Protect Your Capital.
Pursuing a substantial legal claim can place pressure on cash flow, business operations and legal budgets. Litigation funding can help eligible claimants and law firms pursue meritorious claims without relying solely on their own capital.
Litigation Funding Worldwide connects qualifying legal disputes with specialist funding providers, helping you explore potential funding routes for your case.

Keep Your Focus on the Case and the Business
Legal action can be expensive and unpredictable. Third-party litigation funding is one option that may help eligible claimants manage the financial demands of a dispute.
- Preserve liquidity: explore ways to manage legal expenditure without using all available business capital.
- Share financial risk: some non-recourse arrangements link the funder's return to a successful recovery.
- Access specialist capital: consider funding from providers that assess substantial legal claims.
- Assess complex matters: explore individual-case or portfolio structures where appropriate.
Funding is case-specific
Litigation funding is not suitable for every claim. Providers typically assess factors such as the merits of the case, likely recovery, costs, duration, enforceability and jurisdiction.
Terms vary by provider and agreement. Funding may be non-recourse, but this is not a blanket guarantee that a claimant will never incur costs or liabilities.
Independent legal and financial advice can help you assess whether an arrangement is appropriate for your circumstances.

Business Litigation Funding FAQs
Answers to common questions from businesses, claimants and legal professionals exploring litigation funding.
What is commercial litigation funding?
Commercial litigation funding is third-party financing used to help meet certain costs associated with pursuing or enforcing a legal claim. In some arrangements, a funder receives an agreed return from a successful recovery. Structures and eligibility vary by provider and jurisdiction.
Who can apply for litigation funding?
Depending on the provider, potential applicants may include businesses, corporate claimants, law firms and other claim owners involved in substantial disputes. Each matter is assessed individually, and not all applications will qualify.
What does “no win, no fee” mean?
Some non-recourse funding agreements provide that the funder’s return is payable only if the case produces a qualifying recovery. The precise treatment of unsuccessful cases, costs and other liabilities depends on the signed agreement. The phrase should not be treated as a universal guarantee that there is no risk or expense.
What types of disputes may be considered?
Potentially eligible matters may include commercial contract disputes, arbitration, shareholder disputes, insolvency-related claims, judgment enforcement and other substantial claims. Availability depends on the facts, legal merits, jurisdiction and funder criteria.
Does Litigation Funding Worldwide provide the funding directly?
Litigation Funding Worldwide acts as a facilitator, helping connect suitable enquiries with potential third-party funding providers. Any offer, due diligence, funding decision and agreement are subject to the relevant provider’s process.
Is litigation funding available internationally?
Potential availability depends on the countries involved, local laws and regulations, the nature of the dispute and the appetite of individual funding providers. Cross-border matters require careful jurisdiction-specific assessment.
What information should I prepare for an initial enquiry?
A concise case summary, the jurisdiction, the parties, the current stage of proceedings, the approximate claim value, estimated legal costs and the funding sought can help establish whether further discussion may be appropriate. Avoid sending confidential or privileged documents until a suitable secure process has been agreed.
